Artwork Description
Debbie Wetmore made Amazonia using found objects such as earthenware, bone, shell, glass, wood, and horn. These elements were arranged to evoke a sense of the art of the native cultures of the Amazon basin. In among the natural materials Wetmore placed a spark plug and a lace bobbin to suggest a male and female element.
