Object Label:
Show Object Label(s)I make amorphous blobs that convey a unique
form of grotesque abstraction. The inspiration
comes from my time working at a butcher shop,
and utilizing the forms from scraps and offal of
various consumed animals most notably cattle. I
then cast the forms in metal using the skills that
I learned at the University at Albany in a foundry
techniques class. The addition of bright colors
contrasts with the grotesque nature of the form
and gives it a more intriguing and approachable
nature. The final piece stands out as a form of
mysterious origin like an otherworldly being or
geological find.
