Found garden stakes, thread and gouache. Yup! Today’s spotlight is shining on San Francisco based subscribing member Jenny M Phillips’ latest series, titled “Foraged”: “Placing an object into a new context can have a transformative impact: what was previously overlooked now becomes worthy of contemplation, a starting point for a visual meditation.
One could read Ms Phillips’ garden stakes on a square ground as anthropomorphic. Distorted, even twisted “stakes” against a tasteful, perhaps corporate ground with innocent, stainless interiors. If one removed the stakes, leaving just the two shapes, one square, one irregular and open-ended; would there be more drama or less, anthropomorphically speaking?

I hope everyone gets a chance to take the Venice course, it’s Better than anything you can imagine 💛
So good! Scale is interesting, I thought they were paper clips. Garden stakes makes them so more dramatic!
