This fun little piece uses an intriguing juxtaposition of materials to achieve a pleasing visual effect. The rusty stuff is composed of sectionalized fragments of an 'ancient' tin can that I picked up in the mountains around an old mine site. The jewel-like stuff is torched DVD cut to fit in the slots created by the can fragments. It is all just glued onto a wheat colored board. Add an appropriate frame and you have a serendipitous contrast between the old and the very new.
