 "Untitled Assemblage Box" ©Anahid -2015

I recently finished this found objects assemblage box, and submitted it to a juried call for art at Arts Benicia, in Benicia, CA. which is known as arts town. I have not had a chance to name it yet. Sometimes it takes quite a while to understand what the art is saying to me, so I could name it. It might have a name yet!

I collect junk all the time on my walks in the city and in nature, also from various papers and mags. My studio space is very small so I put them on paper plates stacked on top of each other or, if they are three-dimensional, in plastic boxes that vegetables come in. I wish I had space for a large table so I could spread out more, but we have to work with what we have...I am usually working on a painting and an assemblage simultaneously; when I get tired of one, or don't know where to go with the next step, I switch from one to the other, and usually I know what to do when I return to the other piece.
