Sculpture - Brass - For Auction in California and Tennessee

July 25, 2020 in Sculpture, Process

In the studio today forging some brass bars and small sculptures. Thinking about sending one sculpture to California Blacksmiths for their auction and one to Metals Museum for their auction.

Hopefully I will get them done in time!

A couple more sculptures from the 90's. Might have to revisit those ideas in a new form.

Polished Pillars

June 22, 2019 in Sculpture, Process

Polished a few today. I think I need to build a small gallery and have an exhibition of these. Maybe 24"x 24" with white walls, and pedestals of differing heights. Maybe photographs on the walls, then have it fold up into a carrying case, so it can travel (sound familiar to anyone?).

Ten Little Brass Pillars

June 15, 2019 in Process, Sculpture

Ten little brass pillars for the day. Now I have to decide which ones I want polished, which get a patina and which stay the way they are. And I forged some spacers for a new dining room table base today. Good day!

Folds

May 11, 2019 in Sculpture, Process

Folded sheet painted yellow, folded yellow paper and folded and forged bar stock. I guess I have folds on my my mind.
