A Passionate Husband, altered book, OOAK

Description

From the “Love Story” Series

‘Love Story’ combines fantasy with reality as darkened houses are layered onto prime pages of romance novels rescued from the thrift shop sale bin.

A world of romance - as presented by writer and print house.
A juicy, illicit world of words.
Fantasies designed for women, of men glistening in the sunlight as they raise a barn, repair a car, ride a horse.

Many fantasies consumed over so many years.
Many readers now married, many working at home,
many still hoping for the fantasy to come to life as the day’s drudgery winds on.
Girls now women still turning down the corners of pages as they sigh and turn the corners of beds.

Within their rooms grown girls read, dream, wish, and want as they are swept away in the tales of lace, denim, bales of hay, and cocktails on the veranda.

All works in this series are collaged with wax onto stretched canvas.
The images are photocopy transfers.
