Time Out 

Mixed Media Assemblage

5 " x 12"

$75

This piece started with the alligator head my daughter brought me back as a souvenir from Florida. The title and piece represent going to work or not having enough time to get your work done. It also represents technology and how it makes our lives "easier" yet somehow feels like one (blog, Facebook, twitter, linkedin, pinterest, tumblr, instagram) more thing to get done.
