kim family auction

EDIT :: OK folks - it's live again here's a link to the list of all the items. here's the rhino.... thanks everyone!

it starts tomorrow. have you gone to look at what will be up for bidding? i almost don't want to tell you because i want to bid on some of the stuff.... on the plus side - any bidding war will only go towards a good cause. a huge heartfelt thank you should be given to lisa, stephanie, and gerrie, for all the work and love that went into preparing this. i am grateful that this community strives to take care of it's own..... to do what we can when we can....

this is what i am auctioning, but there is SO MUCH good stuff.... so if you don't like my contribution you are bound to like something. get ready to sign into your ebay account.... ready :: set :: go :: bid!

mini target :: rhino

mini target :: rhino_detail

this little mini hunted rhino target is about 5.5" x 5.5" it's watercolor and pinholes on a vintage target.

this whole series was based on the idea that i wanted the hunted animals to "re-claim" what could potentially be detrimental to them. i wanted them to be in bright colors to counter our typical association of silhouettes [esp. ones that are in remembrance]. to me the pin holes also signify mending with out the mending capabilities [no thread]... so there's a balance between defiance and sadness.

all for now.... back soon !

I like the idea that animals could reclaim something back, their spaces, their lives, their clean habitats.
Unfortunately I'm too poor at the moment to bid for anything now. I wish all the luck on this auction. I'm sure this rhino will fetch a good deal.
love and a big cheer for communities that take care of their own.

thanks for reminding me! love your contribution and it's meaning. i like the controversial aspect of it, at first glance it's a bit shocking (like when i first saw your work) and then your explanation. i like that it wants you to talk about it and understand it.

Good luck with the bidding - I am exercising my ebay finger as I speak :)

Oh i so love your work and ideas behind them...as well as the meaning, i love the strong graphic look together with the 'by hand' part...
unfortunately i too (like Paula) am a little on the tight side to help out in this worthy cause.
Good luck - i know it will go well.

so interesting to hear the meaning behind this piece... the contrast between "defiance and sadness"... and the texture of the outline. this auction is amazing... the outpouring of love is truly moving.
