Description

A treasure from childhood. My brother and his friends used to spend hours behind the coalplace melting fishing weights and casting the lead as new objects. I preferred mud pies, which I made into cakes iced with more mud and decorated with woodlice. The decorations infuriated me by wandering off. Another aspect and no postwork Here

Fascinating shapes. It seems to have a very organic-like structure, as if this was some kind of protoplasm experiencing a growth spurt...

That is so strange about the woodlice since my understanding is that they love mud pies. This is a fabulous sculpture. It looks like a bunch of creatures all piled on top of each other.

untreated (via postwork), it's a fascinating bulbous growing moving sculpture, made of lots of wormy creatures climbing all over each other to get a cozy spot. With your postwork, it's almost a big conglomerate of jade chips, melted and fused into a swarming mass. Wonderful forms crawling all over it. And they bring out the energies of all those curls and canyons. A wonderful piece, and I hope everyone looked at it zoomed, because your postwork really comes out that way. Reminds me a little of Chinese bronzes---that's far fetched, but there's something about the concentric lines and shapes that reminds me. (Ok, you've seen them a million times, but here's a link just to make the comparison. It's stretched, but still... http://igavelauctions.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/CC_ShangBronze-8.jpg) (zoom makes the comparison clearer) A big undulating living primal mass of an image.
