Rube's Cube

I'm a bit of a closet cubist. Although I guess I've done enough of these that I'm out already. Here are a few.






Just a few words about the piece above. This work was done on an old end table top I rescued from the trash. If you look at the back, you can instantly dope out the humble, domestic origins of this "canvas". It was just the right size, weight (as in heavy and solid), and offered a dense, hardwood surface—perfect to apply layers of tissue collage with gesso primer, then scrub paint and grind oil pastels.
