May 2006 Art Projects
These are the several projects I have completed and others that need some additional touching up. All the mounting boards are made from salvage particle board.
| The model for this work was an advertisement in the Wall St. Journal. The woman is steel sheeting and the doors are from some cheap flooring I dived at a local building materials center. Some work is still needed such as the background and some filing on the woman. |  |

These red boots are 14" tall and made from metal hanger wire and sprayed red. A drawing by Lovisa Burfitt was used as a model. |
| I believe I used a drawing by Klas Fahlin for the woman in this sculpture. The red background was applied with a piece of old lace dabbed in red paint. The polished mirror and the woman were cut from a steel instrument cover. The piece is about 17" tall. |  |

This wall sculpture is about 21" wide and I call it "Codex." Half inch slices were cut from steel thin wall tubing with a chop saw. The small circles were once conduit, the medium circles the legs of a coffee table as are the larger rectangles. The square pieces were part of a display I dug out of the local Circuit City dumpster. The individual pieces were brazed together in three assemblies. If you look closely you can see where the metal lacks the bronze. Anyway, I still haven't mounted the pieces to the back or decided what order the three assemblies will be. I'm not sure, at the moment, if I should paint the metal or just leave it as is.. |
| This piece is 10"x7"x10" and is made of square iron tubing brazed together. The base is scrap steel from an instrument cover. A chop saw was used to cut each piece. Presently, I'm not sure of the color or presentation of the work.. This sculpture has possibilities for funky yard art......maybe, put it on a pedestal or post.... |  |

Certainly not an objet d'art but a flower basket made from hanger wire, yard sign wire and metal strapping from Home Depot's trash. The basket is 18"x7"x7". This is not the first construction of this kind I've made. You might examine earlier pages for a set of collector plate baskets I made for a friend's kitchen. |
