Dreaming of a Journey sculpture?

Assemblage is art that is made by assembling disparate elements – often everyday objects – scavenged by the artist or Crafted specially. The use of assemblage as an approach to making art goes back to Pablo Picasso’s cubist constructions.

How to Start your Journey

Ok you have done the work of Decluttering.  (If not don’t worry you can find help) You have collected your sentimental objects from all their hiding spots.  These are the objects that represent something to you or invoke memories, or they can simply represent a person. According to the KonMari method these are objects that bring you joy.  

So now you have a box of joy, now what? The problem is that the objects don’t have a place, sure you can lay them out on a table but that’s where the label clutter comes about. The idea of putting them in a glass curio cabinet may be appealing , at least you wouldn’t have to dust it.  But, is that really honoring it?  It is a box of joy, remember.  When was the last time you looked into a curio cabinet to see what was inside and truthfully if you did look it didnt bring you joy.  Now you can just give up and put the box under your bed or in the closet like most people.  OR, you can ask the question “What can Journey Sculpture artist Deborah Landry do with it?”

Capture your Journey

 PEOPLE

A person can be honored anytime.  A “Journey Sculpture” can be a way to have a daily reminder of the impact the person made in your life. The sculpture can be for you or given as a gift to the person you are honoring.

PLACES

A place can be honored. A “Journey Sculpture” can be a way to remember your childhood home, or a place you visited often as a child or a place in the town you went to college. Create a “Journey Sculpture” to invoke the joy you feel about the place. Give yourself a memory every day of a special place.

THINGS

Things themselves can invoke memories.    A “Journey Sculpture” can be a perfect way to display a “thing” that brings you joy but has no place in your life. A “thing” can be something valuable like a necklace, watch or ring but it isn’t something you would wear everyday.  Instead of putting it in a jewelry box, put it in a “Journey Sculpture” and be able to see it every day.  

EXPERIENCE

You had an experience that you would like to remember everyday.  Maybe a first date, a honeymoon, wedding, a hike in the woods or walk on the beach.  We all have an experience that would be nice to remember everyday.  Not just to say to ourselves “that was nice”, but to feel gratitude for the experience in the first place.

F.A.Q.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can anything be made into a Journey Sculpture?

Short answer Yes, longer answer is,  I will work with you to ensure the sculpture I create evokes the memories and feelings you desire.  You may want a thing to be included but it doesn’t represent the joy you are looking for.  Anything that doesn’t get used will be returned. 

Do the Things I have included in the sculpture get destroyed in the process of being included in the sculpture?

No, I secure the items in such a way that they are able to be removed without being damaged.   If an Item needs to be altered to be included you will receive a call beforehand to be informed and discuss options.  Some items that are heavy might have to be drilled to be attached.  

Can I include things that are valuable?

Yes. Items that are valuable will be made so that they are protected from being pulled off the sculpture.  The item could be under glass or put in a box. If an item is too big, valuable or just wont fit, there will be an option that a painting can be created to represent the item.
