Every once in a while, I forget that some folks aren't familiar with my fixation on the art of assemblage. I started making them in the 80's, I think... but just considered them one of my own little foibles. I fell madly in love with the work of the artist Kienholz, after seeing his piece "State Hospital" and though I started with small, 8"x10" shadow-boxy kinds of works, quite a few of my pieces are life-sized and more... way more, now. Many of them are now built on handcarts. My smallest are 2"x3"... my largest historical piece is 6'x30', installed at the Crosby School in Kingston, NY... the one on baseball is around 4'+x8', installed at the Pittsfield City Hall. A couple of years ago two of my pieces were included in the book, "Modern Methods of Mixed Media II". Here are several, for those of you that aren't familiar with my "Life's Debris". All of the pieces above tell a story... the artifacts all have a meaning, and reason for being part of the piece, if only to me. I've included a comprehensive 'how to' for "MY VICTORIAN DREAMS".<br />
<br />
This is how I work:<br />

This is one of my story boxes. Most of my boxes, even the largest, are of this type.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Most of my boxes are chock full of real antiques, old photos and collectibles, which add to the value. When I found out that green was the Elizabethan color of love... I added the emerald.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

Once the basic box, or substrate ( in this case an antique mirror) has been chosen... (for shape alone) ALL other pieces are chosen for the story I have to tell.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
The story itself is either attached to the back of the box, or displayed in a frame alongside. ( Gallery owners love them because they are 'talking points'.)</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">

<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
Every story will be different, but the techniques used are the same. </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I rely on the 5 adhesive/connectors above. Two "tricks": When connecting large, clean, flat surfaces, Xtreme velcro is great. Put the pieces together, Hook & Loop/Fuzzy side while the backing is still on... remove one backing & place on side A. Push for a tight seal. Then remove remaining backing, and push A tightly against side B. Make sure of your placement... it isn't going anywhere. ( Unless you wish to separate them in the future.) </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
The other trick is when you adhere two heavier pieces together, use the construction adhesive. The only drawback is waiting the alloted time for the adhesive to dry. (I use both hot glue & adhesive. The hot glue gives an instant bond, and holds the piece together while the adhesive dries. Works for me)</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
My favorite stores are always scrap metal dealers and antique stores. I haunt auctions, dumps and flea markets. Yard sales make me insane. (I'm not forgetting fabric and art stores... since my boxes 'look' old, I've been known to use Liquid Rust on a modern piece or two, but try to use real rusted pieces when possible.) I've been quoted as saying "I never met a piece of rust I didn't like."</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
I do not clean my antiques... I like the patina, and some times dirt. Clean your contact points though. Vary the size & the height of your objects... overlap them without obscuring the bottom piece or photo. Prop them up with the little balsa wood blocks. or cheap wooden blocks of any kind. Children's toy blocks work well if </div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
the sides will be seen. Old photos can be used for themselves, or as a base for other photos or cards.</div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px;">
In this piece I put a votive candle inside a silver cup. NEVER leave it lit and unattended.</div>

Sorry about all of the "by Jacquie Roland" tags... It has to do with a law called 'Orphan Works'<br />
It should go without saying that all of the works are copyrighted by Jacquie Roland.<br />

Under the eBay auction title Jacquie Roland -Actress, was this nifty little auction. Damn. One little birthday now-a-days will push you right on over the edge. I'm now, according to eBay, The Baltimore Sun and the Tribune Photo Archives... a collectible. Certified. With a certificate of authenticity. *sigh* It could have been worse... at least they didn't list me as an antique.<br />

This is one of my Hallmark cards... today a friend sent me a photo of it in a display in El Paso Texas. On the outside it says " A Loteria card... how nice"..<br />

Many folks have mentioned how much they love this painting, RIVERDANCE , the original of which was sold at last year's 5X7 Show at the Kleinert Gallery in Woodstock. I made a print of it for myself, an 8x10 gallery wrap, which I showed along with my originals at my studio tour this month. Few folks realized that it is what I call a "Topsy - Turvy", or two paintings in one. I do these for fun. As you can see, if you turn the little devil upside down, and 'refocus' ... the painting becomes FROSTY FARM MORNING. I'll probably make a few more of this type this year. :-)<br />

They've followed up their popular how-to with Volume II of the series, subtitled RECYCLED REINSPIRED REINVENTED... and I got to be a guest artist. Lucky me! Two of my projects were chosen, and the book, broken into three sections will appeal to both the absolute novice, and the proficient mixed media convert as well. <br />Check it out here:<br />http://thelatesttrendsinmixedmediaart.com/<br /><br />In the "More" Department, before you leave the Amazon bookstore... Check out J.W.Braun's new book: LORD OF THE FILMS.<br />It's a REALLY in depth look at the Lord of the Rings Films by Peter Jackson, told from an insiders point-of-view. Three really terrific :) scratchboard illustrations (by yours truly) grace the book as well. Killer Cover... wish I had designed it!<br /><br />Still More: Plenty of time to get your tickets to the upcoming 9 ARTISTS/NINE Days show in Saugerties, NY ... I'll be babbling about this one for the next 5 months! - Just mark your calendars - May 29, 2010 - June 6, 2010. More info to come.<br />The NINE are now confirmed to be, in no particular order: <br />Fay Wood <br />Angela Gaffney-Smith<br />Alex Kveton<br />Jacquie Roland ( of course! )<br />Michael Ciccone<br />Ruth Edwy<br />Jeff Schiller<br />Anthony Krauss<br />Shelley Parriott<br /><br />Jacquie Rolandhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16673377688590565677noreply@blogger.com0
