More August work

This little piece has an archer and a girl floating her heart like a balloon.

 This is another piece in the series focusing on aspects of love. Sometimes we make it easy to get our hearts and sometimes we pose challenges that make sure the other is prepared to work for it. I like the distance between my two characters and their each being very aware on the other. I also like the symbolism that if he hits the heart with his arrow , it won’t fly again as it will have done its job and provided the focus for the beginning of the relationship.

This is another piece in the series focusing on the joys of childhood. This is almost our first wild sensation where a parent or sibling gives us this feeling of flying, giddiness and trust all at once. Usually the giver gets as much fun as the one who is swung. As we get older it is one of those delights which changes from that being given to that which you can give. We still search for similar sensations but that trust which we have for the parent can never be replicated.

I made a table using cutlery as part of the construction and had a number of pieces left in the shed. They "called" to me and the idea of making a farmer with his crop of forks was appealing.

It was for a show in New york called small things, the big picture. part of "the big picture" I feel this links the life cycle of materials and food in a slightly surrealistic manner.

Another piece for the untold stories show. I want to do a series of pieces which suggest stories that you might have heard of or think you could make up the story for.
