MODEST ELI IN THE GARDEN OF UNEARTHLY DELIGHTS
"A Modest Yale Bulldog in the Vance Bessent Garden of Unearthly Delights" is an 8x10 limited edition, signed print. It is an adaptation of my collage still available here on Artspan.. The work was made with b&w found photos including carte de visites and cabinet cards. Each was blown up, hand-colored, cut out and put into the Garden. The snake just arrived without invitation. The Yale (Eli) baseball player was a b&w cabinet card circa the late 1800s. The fig leaf guy and his buddy were two French photos that I combined. The setting is the new Vance Bessent Chapel Garden. The grass is astroturf. The greenhouse pillars are forced fiberglass.
