The First Sculpture

So my last posting inspired me to clean up my work table a bit. I did not realize how bad it had become. Following are two photos of the cleaned table.

I currently have two pieces I am working on. One is currently called “mis-match”while the other is called “Flag”.

I reserve the right to change the name of these as they develop.

This post is about Mis-match and right now it is really taking off. I am getting a good vibe from it and am working on how to display the images of the girls. I do not like them sitting so flat on the surface and am also having issues with the piece of tin across the top - I may loose that by the next post. One thing that inspires me in the work is the wire. This runs along the bottom of the sculpture and covers the image of the boy holding his hand out in a "stop" gesture.

Below is a detail of the wire and how it hovers above the boy. I found the wire and "electronic thingy" in an old radio. I am working on integrating the two elements of the boy and wire with the rest of the surface. I think I will add more wires and have been thinking of some heavy manipulation of the wood surface that everything sits on. Sorry about the "blow out" in the photo. I am working on getting better shots.

Next Post I will show you "flag" and I am willing to bet that mis-match will have progressed quite a bit.
