Saw Dust and String 1

I mixed and kneaded saw dust with acrylic paint to create a paste and sculpted to it to the canvas with my hands. I then took canvas I had ripped down to its individual strings and placed on the piece; I sourced the sawdust from local carpenters and woodworkers who would otherwise have thrown it away. With this material, I'm taking scraps and going on to create something of significance. Life is art and its through your process and with what you have and can find that you make your work of art. The canvas string was taken from a previous painting of mine.
