Congratulations to the resourceful. It is an art, where every step you have an idea to supplement your work.

Thank you Zoran,
I had the concept—to make a frame with a bridge to another frame—about five years before I actually made it. When my son was five, on a trip to the NY Planetarium, I came across the first vitrine at the museum which had in it many of the elements in the periodic table along with a quote by Walt Whitman: I believe a leave of grass is no less then the journey work of the stars. At that moment I realized how to use the idea for my first shaped frame piece.

Good concept and very unusual. This piece is a favorite.
