The Sis­ters of the Inquisition
Categories: Featured Articles

It’s get­ting close to fin­ish time for the Sis­ters of the Inqui­si­tion. Prob­lem right now is pho­tog­ra­phy since the reg­u­lar pho­tos make the piece look pretty damn shabby. It’s out­sider art. Painted on the back of a chair and on the side of a cuckoo clock, then fused. Think of the chair back as an spread open wide “C” with the piece of cuckoo clock in the mid­dle. Then there’s a golden baby with­out the top of its head and a hol­low body. There will be a bou­quet made out of odd­i­ties – con­structed with cop­per wire as the stems. The golden baby will be a “vase” for the bou­quet. The “baby” came from Pig­gly Wig­gly on River Road years ago. When the bak­ery was clos­ing down, I bought a bag of small pink plas­tic babies. They were orig­i­nally intended as cake dec­o­ra­tions for a baby shower or new baby cake. I loved my bag o’babies and it was hard to break up the flock, or herd, or … a bag o’babies would be a “jum­ble of babies” — that’s what it is, babies in a large group would be called a “jum­ble”. Which tran­scends a mur­der of crows.
