BFA show artist statementMetal is an incredible medium, prized by human beings for thousands of years for its beauty, versatility, and durability.  And it is that durability which allows those metal pieces of thousands of years to remain as a vestige of its cultural origin.  I am drawn by the allure of those antiquated objects.   I like to imagine my work to be the artistic leavings of a fictional civilization, long since deceased, reclaimed from below the earth or the sea.  Each of my metal pieces is aged by means of corroding the surface with either oxidization, or patina to give the feel of a thing made, lost, and rediscovered.  The original splendor of the polish

New painting. Both the scan and the photo had their own peculiar failings. I went with the scan, but you can see a photo here [link] both look far more textured than the real painting because of the reflective quality of the paint. I'm going to try to get a better capture but in the meantime this is what you get :P

Painted with FW acrylic ink and a little bit of golden acrylic

Around 8 1/2 by 5 1/2

For Sale [link]

The moral of the story is: Dragons like the taste of children better than peanuts. :D
