Montage: 23 Wall Installations

I’ve been really interested in the idea of wall installations lately; a natural progression after last year’s obsession with wall sculptures. While you can use pretty much anything to create pattern and texture to blank walls, the ones I’m most attracted to are the art works. ( I have an ‘everyday objects as wall art’ post in the works as well). A few months ago I blogged about Tracy Melton’s tree ring encaustic paintings I purchased on Etsy. We finally hung them yesterday and they look fantastic – the picture is below. (My lack of photography,lighting and styling skills don’t do the installation justice.) I had planned on lining them up in a grid, but my ever artistic husband (he has a knack, surprisingly), insisted they’d look better scattered. Like ’em?

ARTmonday: Focus Line Art by Tracy Melton

Last month while browsing Etsy I came across these amazing tree ring encaustic paintings from Focus Line Art by Tracy Melton. I’ve been really interested in wall installations of late, and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to try one out. So I promptly purchased several sets (well, after much agonizing over just which sets). They’re amazing. I plan to hang them over my green Twilight Sleep Sofa in my study on the Cape. That is, if I can convince my husband to bang 12 nails into the pristine wall. I will post a pic if I prevail.
