Thumb Prints by Cheryl Sorg






My neighbor Cheryl has been working on these really cool finger print pieces lately. I would stop in and bug her while she was working on them so I got to see the progress. I was intrigued even from the beginning but once finished I was really impressed by the detail of it and the use of book covers and such as the medium. If you follow her work she normally does a full book's copy cut out and reassembled together as large objects. These are smaller at about 24" high and uses a multitude of book covers and text from her favorite readings to make the piece. 

If you want one of your own finger prints with your own favorite books and such as the medium let her know. If you get one send me some photos so we can post it up.

By the way, is it just me or do thumbprints look like barrels?
