I Dreamed God Was a Bird

I Dreamed God Was a Bird

mixed-media asssemblage
Collection of Helen Bero Van Wagoner

I created this piece last winter, and like the majority of my assemblages and sculptures, it's a combination of sculpture, collage, metalworking, and painting. It was exhibited at one of the many Not Just Another Pretty Face salons that were held along the Wasatch Front last January. The salons were sponsored by the Salt Lake Art Center for the express purpose of cultivating and broadening their base of local art patrons. The salons created a relaxed, intimate environment in which prospective patrons viewed the work of local artists and then commissioned specific pieces from the chosen artist. The artists and the commissioned pieces were featured at the NJAPF Exhibit last June. Although I did not have a piece commissioned for inclusion in this show, Helen Bero added I Dreamed God Was a Bird to her impressive art collection.
