I had been pondering a piece based on some work I saw on a visit to a studio on the Walpole Open Studio Tour. The essence was a fabric wrapped bundle(not sure that I am satisfied with it - don't like the crook in the elbow and it is not hanging just right), reminiscent of the Peruvian mummies but hanging like from a spider's thread. I tried a first effort at the image with modifications on the idea using a bone slice, some wire spider web, background bolder painting inside the box and the bundle containing an arm with a hand extending. My idea was about storing necessities for a rainy day. The larger idea that I may want to extend this to is a wall of similar storage boxes, all black and dark, like our self-storage units.
