Stand By the Roads (artist's collection)

cut paper assemblage with patchwork pieces and ivory guitar pegs; 9x11” closed. I like my modern conveniences as much as anyone else, but I also find value in older ways of doing things, even when they're more difficult or take more time. This piece is cut from an antique poetry book and unfolds a quote from the biblical book of Jeremiah:    

    Stand by the roads and look, ask for the ancient paths

    where the good way is, and walk in it,

    and find rest for your soul.
