Number 20: flaming sword redux

I'm revisiting some content from about a year ago on this piece.

It was an icon to hang paint and materials on, and I wanted to see how it would look, given my current processes.

Wood, acrylic, epoxy, spray paint, sculpey, spackle

18"H. 5.5"W.

Crucifetish # 2, 3 & 5

This is a series of wall-hanging sculptures I'm producing. They are variations on a theme. In this case the cross is really just something to hang paint on, a clothes horse for art materials. There is obvious loaded meaning to a cross that may apply to the end user though. The content does come into it when I combine the concept of "the Cross" and "fetish" although it's really just me being playful. I'm into mimicking the look of different materials on these; cast aluminum, leather, rivets, steel.

Wood, acrylic, glass, steel, sculpey, bling

all pieces 13"H. 9"W.

Number 10

This is another wall-hanging relief piece titled "Number 10".

It's content is the tension between a bird in flight and the static quality of it being frozen in a metal surround. In addition to that, the formal contrast between the bright red and the cool metal finish.

Acrylic, Sculpey, wood.
