The Anvil, The Wedge, The Captured Hidden Traveler,The French Daredevil, And Grandmaster P’s She Goat
Title: The Anvil, The Wedge, The Captured Hidden Traveler, The French Daredevil, And Grandmaster P’s She Goat, 2004
38 x 8 x 7 inches, Unique cast and fabricated bronze, Private Collection Drawings: artist sketchbook #12, 2004
Artist Note:
The sculpture is a totem of objects, symbols and images derived from recent work. The “Hidden Traveler” within the sculpture was derived from two other sculptures: The Cart With the Cloven Hoof, and The Way of the Cart. The anvil on the base represents my studio/foundry. The anvil is marked “Acme” which is in honor of Wile E. Coyote, who will hopefully become an important Icon in the future. The French Daredevil made his debut on this sculpture and was sent on a fatal mission on a later sculpture titled, “The French Daredevil's Fatal Mission”. On top is “Grandmaster P’s She Goat”, a small copy of Picasso’s "She Goat", 1950, which is exhibited at The Museum of Modern Art, New York. Above the “French Daredevil” sits a barrel of oil, which seems to bear great importance in this, the 21st century.

Title: Queen Nefertiti's Traveling Prophecy, 2004, 26x6x6 inches, Unique cast and fabricated bronze with jet (the mineral), pink quartz and gastrolith
Artist note: In my way of thinking, the mineral jet and the gastrolith both relate to the history of oil and on the sculpture is a barrel of oil. This sculpture is about Queen Nefertiti's relationship with oil (none, I'm sure). The gastrolith is from a dinosaur, also an oil reference. Nothing can be gleaned from this distortion except that it was the story I made up as I created the piece. There is also a swan on the base which is to me symbolic of the San Francisco Palace of Fine Art.
