Assemblage Sculptures for Linus Galleries

I created two assemblage pieces for Linus Galleries in California.  This sculpture is a tribute to the 1953 horror movie, “House of Wax,” starring Vincent Price.  I have memories of watching this movie with my mom and sister.  I sat on the edge of the couch, scared speechless.  I’m now a big fan of vintage horror films that use suspense to scare, rather than a bloody chainsaw.  Anyway, I made the shadow box using cardboard and paper mache.  It was a challenging task as it took a lot of time building the box up from a basic shoe box.   The sections of the shadow box feature elements of the movie.
