sweet nothings

These small 8 x 10" canvases dare to flirt with the dangerous territory of the decorative, but they are constructed with detritus: leftover paint, dead flowers, and scraps of resin harvested from the drop cloths of sculptor Kamila Szczesna. I'm fascinated with the beauty found in the non-precious objects of the ordinary.
