August Work

Today was moving day for the art again, the first since late July. So I's moving all the works around and I realized, damn, there's one who's never made a show. Well, then.  Here she glows:

Yes, that's G. Love →

This a true hot wax piece, begun & tempered in 100° heat. Straight melted off most the wax more than once as the bird grew her wings and flew. Being so hella hot I didn't want her to go all Icarus on me so I recruited a cover board to tease the sun with thin slips of hot wax.

Went to Houston for a minute & it finally rained while I was gone. The work caught a bird feather and some grit. Gave her a good massage with a rotary sander and oil paint.

She was more avian at inception. Now she's looking more existential octopus.
