Meeting the Challenge

I didn’t know if I could complete Jen Worden’s weekly challenge in one evening, but I managed to which was good because the challenge was to finish something that had been hanging around for a while. It feels satisfying to be able to move on to a new idea now—or maybe even to finish off another project that’s taking up mental space.
This assemblage basically pays homage to the letter “E” for no other reason than I liked the type block. I also used a drawer from a piece of doll’s furniture, a red glass pebble, a burnt out light bulb John gave me and a protractor. Mathematical instruments fascinate me even though I was never any good at geometry at school.
I’m often surprised at what I end up with when I do assemblage. Everything sort of progresses in a haphazard manner and then finally comes together into something I doubt I would have pursued if I’d had a clear picture to begin with. It’s always a voyage of discovery—of what I’m not really sure—but I’m usually glad I decided to take the trip.
