Shear Folly

Sheer Folly

is my latest sculpture.

It was created from parts 

of two different pairs of shears.

It has a balance 

that is both 

graceful and dynamic.

It is available for purchase

on my ETSY site.

The Offering

The Offering 

is a new piece of sculpture 

that I made this summer.

It consists of mostly used auto parts-

a brake drum, a flywheel, 

and two control arms.

It is quite substantial 

and has a strong masculine feel.

 

The Temple of Dagon

Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.

And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.

And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with all his might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein. So the dead he slew at his death were more than they which he slew in his life.

This passage from the Book of Judges

is the inspiration for my latest sculpture

The Temple of Dagon

For this piece I returned to my favorite genre,

Brutalism.

What has been will be again

April 15, 2016 

was the opening reception for the

Riverfront Renaissance Center for the Arts 

fifteenth anniversary

exhibition.

The exhibit was title 

"Time and Reflection".

This was my entry titled

"What has been will be again".

This piece was created from old gears,

springs, spikes, chains, 

and other assorted pieces of scrap metal.

I was quite pleased to win First Place in the show.

A Few New Pieces

Just a few new pieces.

Not much to say about them at this time.

"A Spike of Interstellar Import"

"New Year's Eve- 1971"
