I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Zambezi


More adventures with cardboard lunch trays. This is an assemblage/collage inspired by the intense sunsets in Africa that I'm calling Zambezi.

The photography skills I've so painstakingly tried to develop with birds and buildings turn out to be fairly useless when taking pictures of art, especially a piece as glossy and textured as this. Either I had too much light and everything sparkled annoyingly, or not enough and the whole thing was a black and orange blur. This photo is an unsatisfactory compromise between sparkly and blurry.

Below is a sample of the trays I'm using for materials in various projects. There's also  a smaller size without the little embossed squares that I especially like, but I usually have to make do with these.
