Experimental Sculpture Collection

Sculpture Collection Masking tape, wood glue, wood, wire, ink. 6"x 4" Reflection Statement My experimental sculpture collection entitles ‘Edges’ was inspired by several unique sculpture techniques and materials.

After my mom passed I started finding them a lot more and every time I do I reminded that she is still with me.  I keep all the dimes I find a jar next to a photo of my mom and I. "The body is the primary mode of perceiving scale."  This is a photo I took of a bridge in Jacksonville at sunset I chose this photo to go along with this quote because I thought it was a good representation of showing scale between a person and a large object (the bridge) "The souvenir reduces the public, the monumental  and the three-dimensional into the miniature, that which can be enveloped by the body." This is a photo of a card that you get from one of those fortune telling machines. It reminds me of a very fond memory I have ...
