Stripe #10

$200.00

STICK #10 is a colorful stroke of life. A terrific accent of vitality. It’s painted on wood using acrylics and mixed medium.

Reclaimed tobacco sticks are farm tools reimagined
Each is an artifact hand-cut from Kentucky wood, hewn to a standard of 52″ long, squared at roughly 1″, and pointed at each end
Their original purpose was to hang tobacco leaves in ventilation barns to cure
I found them stacked in a friend’s barn in 2011(they had stopped growing tobacco years prior) and by spring 2012 they received an award for most successful use of recycled materials
Each is hand painted by me

Where do you place a reclaimed tobacco stick?
