The found objects in this piece are the primary inspiration for this work. Looking through the bullet ridden piece of metal made me think of the stars in the night sky. Don't we all have a list of wishes hoping to come true? The layers of handmade paper are treated with encaustic for stability, durability and texture. The piece is wired to hang and signed on the back.
