Non-Functional Work Sometimes...
I was asked to submit 1-3 pieces for a show at the art gallery where I sell my work. The place is Styll, in Elora, Ontario. Great place, great owners and staff, very good critical taste I must say.
The challenge was to create pieces that reflected the artist's current ideas, in a 12" X 12" frame, to be show-cased on a wall.
I stepped up and made these 3 pieces which were reflective of my path from "Raised in the Suburbs", to "Compressed in the City", and then "Settling in the Country".
The background on all is a copper sheet with a variegated patinaed texture, then added bits of wood, metal, guitar strings, hardware, ideas.
I was very happy that someone bought the whole set together.
