Alchemy

19. Court & Cayuga
Artist: Oona Stern

This box is basically painted in a faux wood grain style.  However, I find it totally unconvincing.  Not only is the color scheme wrong, but the paint has dripped in multiple places ruining the effect.  The design is good with well spaced lines.  Unfortunately, the execution was poor.



In the next two images it is possible to see that the design does not cover the section where the box is attached to the pole.  I imagine this section was very difficult to paint.  All of the artist's painting pole-mounted boxes had some interruption as a result.  The interruption in this one is unobtrusive.




Check out this artists website for information about her other projects.  I quite like a pair of pebble sculpture installations she did entitled "meander".

Next Update: Bohemian Peacock
