CONCEPT

Imagine a 3-dimensional assemblage sculpture, a shrine to life.

OVERVIEW
The sculpture is a 4-sided assemblage of chaotic harmony, a tribute to evolution, starting with life from the oceans at the bottom, moving upwards to land-based life, and finally to creatures of the sky at the top.
I am envisioning:
The bottom constructed of glass panes with blue gels for water and featuring aquatic life, from fish to coral. Midway represents land-based life featuring bicycle wheels with imagery incorporated in between the spokes. Nooks, crannies, boxes and cases will contain decoupaged images and mini sculptures. Onward to the sky filled with birdcages and birds. The crown is a Darwin Finch of sculpted maché.


BUILD

The shrine itself is an evolution of objects. Because it will be comprised of “found material,” it is difficult to depict exactly what it will look like, but I have made a mockup of two of the four sides to illustrate what I am envisioning.

SCULPTURE

Salvaged architectural details, windows, doors, bottle caps, fixtures, hardware, etc., make up the bones that keep the sculpture orderly. The thrill of the hunt (and find!) is the exciting and creative part of this kind of sculpture.
