This piece was made on an old lath wall in an abandoned farmhouse near my studio. The sun was setting...and I did a circle of porcupine quills in it, with a red urethane square. It was a big round red setting sun. It reflected the way my heart felt watching the sun set in October, when the days get short up North. There is a strong composition and balance. The lath was unusual and old, as it had organic edges, sawn from sapling branches. The LED system in the lightbox frame illuminates the work like layers of time. Unlit, it feels like a memory of an old way of life that is rapidly being lost.
