The end of the year is always a bit hard. Between all the family and travel plans it can be difficult to get anything done in the studio. While the past weeks have felt particularly unproductive, I seem to have produced this nasty creature none the less. I had originally hoped to mount his head and arms with springs so that they would sort of wiggle around (much as I did with my “Stick Figure” sculpture). However, in the interest of quicker results I simplified the design and went with solid arms and a pivot mounted head. A vertical pin keeps his head balanced in place, but it can be turned to face different directions.
As I mentioned in my last post, Boomerang (above) has had a long journey. This journey finally brought him to his new home in Santa Barbara last week. While this may not be news in itself, I wanted to take a moment to share the supportive environment that he has found.
Boomerangs new home is also that of Tal Avitzur. Tal is an artist himself and shares my enthusiasm for collecting anything not nailed down. He showed me around his home and his wonderful collections. Below are a few images from the trip.
I’m pleased to anounce that The Steampunk Treehouse will be permanently installed at Dogfish Head brewery in Delaware!
There will be allot more info soon but the word is we’ll be installing sometime in May or June of 2010!
This is going to be allot of fun!
