Number 22: The Warning

I want this image to read as an abstraction and representation at almost the same time.

abstraction = a red "X" and a red circle.

Representation = an upside down figure in a pose of some distress.

I feel the finished product sort of behaves like signage, hence "The Warning"

This piece also felt like it had a hint of "alien artifact" feel to it.

Part of where I believe this shape comes from (in the depths of my subconscious) is the scarecrow shape from the original Planet of the apes (screen shot below)

Wood, acrylic, epoxy, spray paint, caulk, spackle, metal.

Number 21: Fetish heart

Going for the look of dirty welded steel and rubber. I'm using a valentine heart again, this time right-side-up, but black.

At bottom is a few detail shots to show the faux welds. Click on images for enlarged view.

Wood, acrylic, epoxy, spray paint, caulk, spackle, screws.
