"Small World" 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.
Small World is a mixed media print, part of the Postcards from the Edge: Taunus series.
I found these tiny mushrooms growing on top of an eye-level stone wall. Had I been rushing along at my usual pace, I would have missed them. But I'd slowed down to stop at the mailbox nearby to mail postcards to loved ones overseas.
Up close, the scene revealed an entire small world in a patch of moss.
