Obelisk
I'm far enough along on this sculpture to post it for sale.
All that's left to do is seam the bottom half to the top half, complete the pyramidion, and then burn out the wood.
If you are interested in Egyptology, then this is for you. Not only is it an ancient Egyptian form, but the objects that create the piece are like hyroglyphics. It tells a story of this region; and so...
If you are interested in the history of agricultural tools, industrial tools and related items, and found metal objects from the Ottawa Valley, then this piece is for you.
If you are interested in owning a large sculpture for your yard or garden then this piece is for you.
Contact me for arrangements to have this delivered to you.

Skeletal
This sculpture has 5 skeletal rings, each with a central supporting ring (except for the smallest ring). The skeletal rings are made from recycled manure spreader tracks and in fact there is still organic matter between the pieces. This sculpture is intended for the base to be slightly covered by the ground to give the impact of the rings to be coming out of the ground, such as what you might find at an archaeological dig.

Multiple Personalities:
This sphere started out by dismantling a sculpture I had titled, "Family Portrait", a metal frame holding 11 faces. I had it longer than I wanted to so I decided to take it apart and create a sphere of faces.
This sphere has 21 faces all forged to fit a 24" sphere. Ten more faces had to be made to complete this piece.
The sculpture was sprayed with vinegar, water and hydrogen peroxide to create an even rust patina and then coated with several coats of clear coat to seal in the rust.
