A Sample of Parts Found in the Art Studio
When I visit the studios of fellow assemblage, mixed-media artists I get a kick out of looking through their stashes of art ingredients tucked away in drawers, bins and on shelves.
Here is a gallery of photos of some of the parts in my workshop.
Below the photo gallery is a video from the aftermath of a typewriter being taken apart.
TAKING APART A TYPEWRITER
In December 2017 the Thomas Fire was raging in the hills above Santa Barbara. The sky was raining ash and for health reasons it was best to stay indoors. Luckily I had help taking apart an old, non-functioning Underwood typewriter. When we got stuck, we made this video to send to artist friend Jeremy Mayer.
