One-of-a-kind, mixed media cross assemblages by Michel Keck.
Medium: reclaimed wood, old furniture leg, vintage spring, driftwood, material from old army bag and various found objects.
I create all of my mixed media cross art assemblages with various found objects such as weathered pieces of wood and bark, rusty pieces of metal and old tools that I collect while hiking, traveling to abandoned places, or junking at recycling centers, junk yards and invites we get to properties with old abandoned farm machinery / automobiles. I use these found objects, discarded junk, and the recycled, worn and rusty pieces to create unique, 1 of a kind assemblages in the form of the cross, or crucifix.
Each cross I assemble from the reclaimed and discarded items tells it's own story from the carefully selected pieces used to create each one. Every cross assemblage I create is a 1 of 1 and will arrive wired and ready to hang. Studio appointments are available by phone and it usually requires at least a three week notice.
*Note: Each of cross assemblages are completely unique and for that reason are impossible for me to duplicate through the commission process. If one of my original found object / altered art assemblages speaks to you please note that they are truly 1 of 1's and I can not create commissions to look exactly like a sold works because there is no guarantee I will have same/similar items.
I do accept commission works on my found object assemblages, however it will be based on your preferences and not based on creating a work to mimic one of my sold works.
