From the Scrapbook - Civic Center Expo


All of these are photos from a scrapbook owned by a fan of Marxhausen's work. They were in an exposition at the Civic Center in 2002.
Bust of his wife Doris.


"Old Farmer" was written on the back of the photo and may be the title.

This photo is a bit fuzzy, but you can sort of make out these words:

Top: WINTER, SPRING, SUMMER, FALL

Side bar: SKY, GROWING FIELDS, CROSS SECTION OF EARTH

SKY is written on the right side as well.

Center: SUN, SEED, CENTER (the second word is difficult to read, but I can make out the letters NOT and something else), COIN

Bottom: SEEDS, GROWING, HARVEST, FALL, PLANTING (?)

Anyone recognize this image?

A self-portrait clay bust.
This piece was created with a lightning rod and glass ball insulator.
