Acrylic and oil on vintage hand stained carved wood plaque 23 x 12 in
~This is the origin piece that provided the inspiration for this show. I found the concave wooden plaque at an antique shop. It was muddy and stained, but had such interesting shape I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I brought it home and spent hours cleaning it and getting the old stain off. I carved into the edges to connect the top ornament to the bottom and then stained and sealed everything around the center. I found it thrilling that I could give the wood a second life and that it could come alive again with a little TLC. Looking at the restored plaque inspired the painting of the sainted ferret with a Hieronymus Bosch twist. I realized that I wanted to explore how I could do this with other work, as well. -Cassandra Kim
