It’s All About Water
(details)
The subject matter is the perpetual water cycle
and the protection of this most precious resource.
Three equidistant panels of clear glass sit inside a
shadow box frame in this mixed media 8 x 10 collage.
The front panel features a drain fashioned from
handmade paper. Bold text behind the grate
openings warn: “What goes down comes up
and around.”
On the left of the middle pane is a photo relief:
Pollution threatens a water supply cover. On the
right is a relief of a hand-hole water cover
entitled “Acqua.”
The water patterns of Marilyn Wold’s hand made
Japanese ink-float paper enhance the rear panel.

Bobbi,
I have just returned from a visit to the Mill Pond House!!!!
Your piece is very attractive and displayed nicely.
I am wondering just how you were able to put each
letter in a correct spot and in so narrow a space?
I thought that perhaps you marked it all out on the
back of the object and then adhered the letters.
I am probably all wrong!!!!!
I was on your site quite awhile today!!!!
Wishing you and Al a Good Holiday season.
It has all come about too quickly!!!!

Bobbi,
Your new creation of a collage on three layers of glass looks very interesting and attractive, it should invite a lot of viewers. I’ve not seen this concept before, so I’m quite fascinated by it.
Only a good artist can produce like you can!

I love this piece…
Thank you for creating such wonderful art and to feature something so wonderful as water! Amazing!
Bobbi,
I didn’t get a chance to tell you, I really loved the piece,
“It’s All About Water,” that you had on display at the
Author’s Coffee House!
