Title:
Head
Details:
5'x5'x5'
Currently
in Newark, Delaware at Switch Skateshop.
This was the first
all-metal, all nuts-and-bolts sculpture I made. Originally, it was an
idol dedicated to the Egyptian sun god Ra. The shiny-metal-object phenomenon
is one I'd like to explore further. Once, when displayed outdoors in Delaware,
the head was stolen and dragged all around town by some drunken fraternity.
It's been seen at a clothing store in LaCrosse, Wisconsin and a high-school
in Madison. The challenge of this piece was to leave as much negative
space as possible while still completing the entire form. In the end,
it wouldn't fit out the doors of my studio and had to be half-disassembled
before being shown.
