"Plenty" by Kelly O'Brien (2014). Mixed media on paper, 50 x 70 cm.
There's a story behind many of the pieces that I make. During the month of February while new work for my solo exhibition hangs at Galerie Uhn, I'm sharing brief backstories in a series of blog posts.
Plenty is a mixed media print, part of the Postcards from the Edge: Taunus series.
A common site on a hike in the Taunus is walls of stacked timber, their cut ends creating patterns of circles that line both sides of the trail. The graphic digits spray-painted across the cut logs are apparently private timber marks, indicating ownership and transportation rights for the cut timber.
Like a secret formula, they add up to remind me that this is plenty.
