Back                 To Feb 2

February work

I did this big set of shelves to use up a junk screen I made for a sculpture. It looks good but it is so big and heavy I have trouble moving it! The balloon uses a ball float and a little character in the basket. The wire holds it up and allows it gentle movement
Another character using wire( for the fishing line) and also a rock from Inverloch I put in one bird but at last count this is no 6 for the month
The symbol is also for the  response to china exhibition and stands about 1.5 m tall. It has a background of mirror mosaic and  is the Chinese symbol for friendship. It has a battered surface ( like our friendship over the years) but the mirror shining through expresses hope and light. I guess when you look into the symbol you are also reflected showing friendship is made up of people like you. This is an idea I saw at an exhibition years ago  but with trees. To show the multitudes of China I have taken a selection, The people on the scooters, a bike rider, a beggar, a street sweeper, a girl on a mobile phone and put them in a box lined with mirrors so the reflection duplicates the image( thank you also Harpo Marx!)
This isnt really February work but it should be shown. I have covered this chair with teddy bears( soft toys ) as the seating and people are a bit awkward in sitting on them A 2 m dragon fly for an order
A large fairy for an order A hat stand which was an order but since has generated another three orders. A tow ball for the top!
