"The Game of Life", mixed media on wood, 24" x 36" x 1 1/2", Carole Sesko 2010
This piece incorporates bits of old and new: antique lace mixed with modern textiles, all imbedded with acrylic media on wood. I used silver and copper acrylic paints as a ground, and built up the sheen with layers of iridescent color. Though the game board image suggests some strategic maneuvering, the overall mood is meant to be bright, happy, and carefree.
