Hubcap Project

Artist

Shelby Conneely

Location:  Millspaugh Furniture

 

Title: ”Untitled"

 

Materials: acrylic paint, white rope

 

 

Artist Statement:  The circular shape made me want to create a Yin/Yang affect with light and dark colors. I wanted the open spaces covered and found some extra white rope in the garage left over from the tire swing to weave throughout the piece. I tried to let the process guide me as opposed to overthinking what the finished piece should ultimately look like.  I learned to have faith in the process, use materials that I see in my environment and enjoy!
