Detritus

Continuing to move through the horse trope, I am in the process of covering the Carousel Horse (now on a set of rockers, though I do feel somewhat 'off my own rocker') with black fondant to create patterns/strata with push pins angled to capture ambient light. To get the pins to the size I need for this, I have had to trim them down with a small wire cutter leaving pin remnants.

While I love this part of the project, and will continue with it, I am excited - finally - about what else I am seeing: the detritus!

These pieces, and the ones I originally explored, feel more alive and dynamic. They are starting to make a bit more sense, though I am not yet sure how to organize it all.

I look forward to your feedback, impressions and thoughts, tomorrow during class or here now.

Thanks!
