June is the annual Members show at the Shenandoah Valley Arts Center.

The show runs from June through July and if you're in the area, do stop by and enjoy.
Although these days I work mostly in collage, mixed-media assemblage was my first love. I loved the collecting of the bits and pieces, finding the right 'container's' and discovering the alignments that would emerge. I was inspired to do an assemblage for this show.
Some of the key pieces here were box assemblages I had made in the past. It was great fun to pick and choose who would go in this piece. There was much arranging/rearranging with various selections. Once the core units settled, I was in search of a base. I found the large tray and from that, the theme of a tea party emerged. Shoes, tea cups and saucers are often featured in my collage work, but first appeared in my assemblage work. I had many such miniatures in my assemblage items collection. And dolls in various ways were always part of my 3-D work. The piece is 19" long x 14"wide and 24" at it's highest point.
