Candles & Wish Boxes – STORE
Candles
These candles are meant to act as a vessel to deliver a raw component of The Utopian Ranch. It allows a practical way to begin an art collection. The grapefruit scent is one of my favorite olfactory smells that brings me memories of comfort and inspiration. I thought this to be a good introduction of how I approach my creative process.
Wish Boxes
I call these boxes, Utopian Ranch Wish Boxes. They were first thought of as an organized way to collect and store Utopian Ranch components. I have added some components from the original Utopian Ranch dresses allowing the boxes to become a sculpture. They are signed and come with a signed 4×4 canvased component.
Disclaimer: Please note that all cuts of the breakdown of The Utopian Ranch studies will vary from what is shown on the website. Each is an original work of art so will very in component sizes and numbers of components added. The sculptural effect and depth created for three dimensional illusion is partially obtained with heavy beading, rhinestones, and glitter. Cutting the thickness of this mixed media is hand done and proves a challenge to be exact in measurements and content. I view this body of work as a part of me and the best effort is made to represent this in every piece that is collected by you. The components that have little or no embellishment are as important as those that are all embellishment. they are all intended to add to the collective sculptural depth of The Utopian Ranch universe. The childlike craft style is purposeful and represents much research. Please refer to my thesis or The Utopian Ranch description for theory and intended philosophical content. All measurements are approximate and are in limited quantity as artwork is made and broken down. Each component and or arrangement will be different and some have more adornment than others. The perfection should be seen in their imperfections.
