Mixed Media with Catfood and Tinsel

Sylvie is an artist. She usually expresses herself via installation pieces such as this.



Exhibited are a number of Sylvie's "sparkle balls" carefully arranged in her dry food bowl. This picture was taken last February, but it's just one in a continuing series. Here is another, dated a few months later. Note the playful arrangement of sparkle balls both in and outside of the food dish.



Sparkle balls (pom poms plus some mylar tinsel) are Sylvie's favorite toys. Period. She plays soccer with them on her own or brings them to us to throw and then she chases them down brings them back. I have woken up several times to find a sparkle ball in the bed or my hand. I'm sure it's very frustrating to Sylvie when I don't get the hint and play with her. You know, because I'm asleep and all. I have no idea why she leaves them in her food dish.

Sometimes she goes through a deconstructionist phase and then we see pieces like this.



Finally, Sylvie's tribute to the Dada movement.
