I was gathering up work to take to the framer. One was an older piece, stored in a black cardboard portfolio on top of my red bookcase.
Upon close inspection, I noticed a perfect round hole in the foreground area of the piece
How did THAT get there?
I looked further and the ENTIRE portfolio had been bored with the same perfect hole:
Under the portfolio was a pad of newsprint
Guess it's time to get the (metal) flat files that I bought last year functional. (Moved off the back patio and into the house)
What did I do about the hole? For this drawing, I'm chopping off 2" from the bottom. Re-signed it (but am retaining the hole + old signature under the mat). Some of the others have the hole in the middle. Not sure what to do with those yet...
Ouch!
ReplyDeleteTermite Art?!
ReplyDeleteI hope they are not eating the frame of your house, as well as your work for the art framer...
I have just battled my way through Ant Troy, (Ant Carthage?) trying to repack dishes for my daughter. The Ants had colonized heavily, throughout the old newsprint wrappings. It was a bit of a slaughter.
