nice find. I like the direction you've taken this, very effective.

is it part of a series of found media pieces? I seem to remember one earlier with a slice of tree bark.

No specific direction, I just from time to time pick up some bit of promising detritus, and it sits around until I think of something to do with it.
To me, an art-potent gem, to Rachel, more a bit of old tat cluttering up the place. I probably get it from my Mum, though she doesn't art-ify and blog her bits of driftwood.

I'm thinking a nice rubbing of this piece could be achieved with a few different colour crayons.

btw, when I was in the gents at college, I was thinking along similar lines when admiring the frosted pattern of the windows therein. hmm, could be some rubb'art coming our way soon... ;o)

I forgot to mention, it puts in mind a head on easter island.

Ian, I thought Easter Island too - I was tempted to clone it and make a colony of them. Rubbing things is a good surrealist ploy - thinking esp. Max Ernst.

Thankyou Jo, Dave, Caroline, and Andrea - it feels loved! Now, how do I affix a lump of rusty tin to a piece of paper?!

Shelly, I've filled out a directory request. I'm not viewed enough to avoid getting buried in these directories though!
