Earlier Heads

2006-2007

These heads represent a variety of transformative processes and materials. Spending time at their summer house in New Hampshire, Ms. Solondz began painting heads using local mud and floating the images in the pond to let marks form on them. Additionally, she was befriended by a hummingbird who would fly into her studio and drink from a feeder, leaving splashes of nectar on the image set up below. Other images were formed by applying iron filings onto salted wood surfaces. When the wood became wet, the iron filings rusted and spread, resulting in the images continuing to rust and change for several months.
