2301 1st Avenue North, Ste 103: Bancography

All 100 boxes are created out of handmade papers she has made from locally gathered materials in the last few months. Each box is a small collage or monoprint that utilizes the interaction between natural or man-made fibers and light. Dements Boxes are complemented by her other 2 and 3D handmade paper art works, Lamps made of ole tools and waxed paper lampshades.

Most of these “relief light box collages” are vignettes that tell a story with layers of vintage ephemera, photos and bits of cloth interacting with etched images. Some are colorful etchings that relate to the paper they are hand printed on for example, an okra image printed on paper made from okra. All the boxes are coated with RAW BEESWAX, which gives them a warm glow and will have the booth smelling like HONEY! These boxes should be a delight to see as a group but also stand strong alone. Ms. DeMent will also be showing an assortment of gift items including “candle covers”, stationary and “Plantable seed cards”.
