About the Item

An extraordinary hourglass sculpture that's a visual poem to the notion of time passing, impermanence and the beauty of each moment. A multitude of powerful glittery overlapping media scavenged from vintage mesh purses, the angel from a Nativity, bits and pieces from clocks. A rhinestone airplane echoing the wings of the Gloria angel and a metaphor for how time flies.

Awesome Mixed-Media Birdcage Sculpture
By Fay Sciarra
Located in Hopewell, NJ
A beautiful and thoughtful found object sculpture titled Cage of Fear made from a vintage birdcage collaged with gingham, leopard fabric and cigar box wrappings. Inside the cage is a 3 dimensional arrangement of mixed-media objects including childrens' blocks that spell F E A R, the hand of a clock, a disturbing plastic doll that hangs from a pulley, and deer horns.
