Boooooooo!


 Hey(sleepy tone)......what time is it?


Hi all. Its been far to long.
So, what's been going on.....? well, Life really.
I have been given the gift of a son. He is beautiful, bright, and happy and I couldn't ask for more.
While there are tremendous upsides to this, the downside has been my spare time.
Hence the humungous lag in keeping this blog going, so sorry.
Time to start on the on my second year in sculpture.

Ahhh! I know what you're thinking.......key rings!
Dead right. following on from the cotton bud idea got me thinking about other banal, everyday items.
Key rings fit the bill just nicely so that is what I started playing with.
I don't want to bore you so here is the finished installation.




Please don't ask me how many key rings because I can't remember.I particularly liked the shadow as much as the work itself. It took quite awhile to decide on the final install as there were so many possibilities.

I kind of started moving away from the banal and decided to stitch up the gallery space. I couldn't begin to tell you exactly what this work says albeit that it still refers to space and more precisely which space you can enter an which spaces you cannot.

 

This was a fairly large rope, around 45mm or 1 3/4 inch round. Space kind of became the idea around which I was basing my work around our ideas of space but that all changed in my last year..........



Hopefully, it won't take so long to post.
