About this artwork

I found most of the elements in this assemblage work at various flea markets in Germany. The object that inspired me was the bookplate of the unknown Friedrich Stöckler. I combined this with a vintage metal printing plate, a pair of glasses, and other objects suggestive of reading, writing, and contemplation. Among the papers behind the vintage book boards are original pages from the hand-written minutes of a bicycle club, “Protokolbuch des Radfahr-Club… ‘Auf gehts’ München-Laim, von 12 Juni 1921 bis 18 August 1929,” a document which contains a delightful variety of illegible but evocative handwriting.

The work is contained in the shallow wooden drawer from a vintage side table. Two small metal stars on the top cover the holes where the pull handle had been attached. The piece is wired for hanging on a wall, but can also stand on a flat surface.

Diane Keane is a mixed-media artist and painter with roots in Pittsburgh and a background spanning commercial art, papermaking, calligraphy, and medical illustration. She crafts assemblage boxes reminiscent of shrines or curiosity cabinets from found or fabricated objects, balancing realism and surrealism in her paintings to conjure extraordinary realities. Her work weaves personal narratives and social commentary, infusing irony amid themes of motherhood, womanhood, and environmental decline. Above all, her art beckons the viewer into mysterious, atmospheric worlds, sparking emotions that range from pleasure and intrigue to thoughtful discomfort and wonder.
