Coral Snake

I just finished what I am calling, Collaris: Pipe Clamp Coral Snake. He is a mixture of different colored bike tires, pipe clamps and painted cloth. He also has a curious assortment of buttons, tools, and screws, washers and odds/ends that he has accumulated during his travels.

Frog Commission

Several months ago my Santa Fe gallery told me that some collectors had come in the gallery, really checked out my work, but they only collect frogs. They asked me to make any type of frog that I wanted to.

It took me a little bit of time to come up with the movements, articulations and type of frog that I wanted to build. But here it is. My interpretation of a leaping frog.

3 More Pieces for Aqua Miami Art Fair

As I mentioned earlier, The J Go Gallery, in Park City,UT, is participating in the Aqua Hotel Art Fair in Miami. The show is from December 6th till the 9th. They are setting up a cabinet of curiosity in their room and asked me to make some work for this, which fits perfectly into my vision for my work.

These three pieces are creatures of curiosity.

Rattlesnake

My daughter was recently in the high desert of Northern New Mexico and spotted a small rattlesnake. Her picture of the creature made it look precious and beautiful like a small Turkish rug.

I have not made many snakes, finding them complicated and beyond my imagination but after seeing this one, I made "Gallopavo Unwinding." His body is wrapped in lead, then the diamonds are made up of blue tin, mountain bike tires and screws and bolts. His tongue is a cocktail fork and I used old beads for his eyes along with rusted stuff hanging off of him.
