Armatures of the New Economy: August 2011

TowHook, 2008, at the Paulina Brownline stop.

The site is more conducive for a more vertical piece, but a bothersome void is now filled. So far, the TowHook has been well received.

the Fountain Head at the Chicago Art Open

The Public Defender

This was inspired by Kevin Davis' book, Defending the Damned. After I poured the base I couldn't move it (maybe a legal metaphor?!).

Self Portrait

My agent said it isn't phallic enough.

The Tow Hook

The Tow Hook was created with beam segments left over from the termite repair project; I hate termites!

The Fountain Head w/children

I threw in a couple of kids for scale!

The Public Defender

Inspired by my friend Kevin Davis' book Defending The Damned. After I poured the concrete; I couldn't move it.

Micromentalism

They reject that great art has to be monumental. They reject that art should exist in galleries and museums. They reject that only the rich can afford good art. They are the Micromentalists.

This is where it all began...I threatened Marilyn that I was going to install an obelisk in our front yard.

This one caused the neighbors to move...didn't like em anyway!

New Junque Sculpture

In preparation for the Around The Coyote Arts Festival application deadline I had to produce fast. Luckily years of doodling during meetings, my kids' piano lessons, and whenever my mind derails, and years of collecting junk prepared me for some quick assemblages.

*Special thanx to Dewalt and Milwaukee for giving me the power when I needed it. Hey maybe they could underwrite me!! Then one might find me one day in the back of Home Depot demonstrating the latest boring tools.

alleylove and Found Objects

There is beauty in everything. Many beautiful objects are discarded. Why create new forms when they already exist. The obsolete, broken, and nonfunctional can be given a new context. A lot of modern sculpture is inaccessible in its concept, scale and form. I'm trying to work on some of those problems.

Under Construction: but come back for junk sculpture, found objects, garden art and more.
