No. 48

Dimensions:


Height: 2,5 cm 

Width: 7 cm

Depth: 6,5 cm


This is an abstract version of the fascinating face racks (No. 46). The shape probably just didn't turn out right for painting a mask on it.

One of the basic rules during Marlies' classes was to never throw anything away. It was always possible to turn it into something. 

She did just that here, choosing yellow and painting the rack with an abstract pattern. 

The combination of the wild black decoration with fine geometric lines is unique.
