I created landscape with found objects, using a wire mesh as my canvas. I inset the green metal shell of a Coleman camping stove and added to it a computer-enhanced photo of clouds and burned-out trees taken in the hills behind my house. I added dried grasses and thistles gathered from the same area. The metal blade from a lawn edger, pulled from my neighbor’s trash and spray painted yellow, became the sun. Two rusted metal early-auto pieces dug out of the hills above Durango, Colorado became foreground. Long plant fronds woven into the mesh, their bulky stem ends standing out, added dimension. Random strips of old cotton shirts and tablecloths applied like strokes of paint added color. Lastly, an old, bent and twisty, heavy gage wire, painted blue, became streams and rivulets.
