Breaux Bridge (pg.5 of 5): Sugarcane on Chênes Brulée, a found-art piece

(cont’d from pg.4 of 5).

November 15, 2014 – First 2 testers, still on floor, nothing hung yet. Can’t decide whether to include little items and the land plat, maybe some photos, as in the 1st photo below, or keep it simple, like in the 2nd. What do you think?

Go on only if the process of creation is of interest.

============================================================

May 29, 2014 – Here’s the material I have to work with. Not sure if I’ll include photographs somehow.

survey map, cedar & oak chopsticks, pecan chain, crockery shard, and a nutria claw

Tiwazzo's crock — Tiwazzo’s crock, from the bayou house site by the big oak

scale components found in leaves, wooden cabinet and structural pieces disintegrated — Adeo’s sugar cane scale, found in the weigh station shed, components on the ground in years of leaf litter, its wooden cabinet rotted away

Wheel hub from sugar cane harvest wagon, Adeo’s farm, Breaux Bridge. . . a nice pot rack

window shutter, Adeo's sugar cane weigh station shed — window shutter, Adeo’s sugar cane weigh station shed

———————————————– And here are the pieces that lend themselves to study for what I have in mind.

Gail Rieke, assemblage art — Gail Rieke, gorgeous piece

Danny Saathoff, assemblage art — Danny Saathoff, one of my favorite assemblage artists. All his pieces are complex, kinetic, and interesting.

I hope you’ve enjoyed the Breaux Bridge chapter of my grandmother’s biography. I certainly enjoyed bringing it to you. Take care. Laura
