Cry a River - work-in-progress
cast plaster with bronze powder & wash, dyed found stoneware, schlag-metal leafed & lacquered found object (circuit-board drilling backer), slumped iridescent black glass - 9¼"x 10"x 1½" (as is)
This will be mounted within a shadowbox frame and probably have further elements added. This piece began about ten years ago when I discovered the masonite-like circuit-board drilling backer while dismantling a decorative cloth-wrapped oriental-style box which had been discarded. After stripping the cloth off the board and removing all the adhesive residue it was leafed and sealed with tinted lacquer. A Another inch-wide strip of this box-backer was used in another piece, GOLDEN DREAM: PERFORATIONS (see below), but this larger salvaged piece sat unused in the studio, and though it was considered as a possible element in any number compositions over the years it was always shelved again as being not-quite-right. Finding the stoneware fragment with the concentric circular pattern (a bottom-side-up fragment of a large broken hand-thrown platter) and retrieving the old lip demo (which had been fitted with a magnet and sat attached onto various computers as a 'mascot' for many years), and then after doing some texture test-slumps of various iridescent glass pieces these all just came-together. Gotta make the shadowbox frame to fit next.
GOLDEN DREAM: PERFORATIONS
plywood cradle, gold-painted joint cement, paint-wiped Virginia slate, blued steel found object, dyed maple burl, schlag-metal leafed found object (circuit-board drilling backer), dichroic glass - 13¾"x 13"x 2½" - 2016 - sculptural painting exhibited once, in 2022
