metal_0126 :: chōchin'obake
A little experiment (and palette cleanser between larger installations) in delicacy that resulted in four paper lanterns giving their lives until I finally figured out how to get the metal frame with eyeball and split tongue of my little chōchin’obake (paper lantern ghost) into the paper lantern without causing too much damage.
metal_0124 :: wheel.1
From the remnants of an old carriage wheel from my grandparents' home; turquoise-meets-rust patina in honor of my grandmother's silversmithing and turquoise wizardry (turqouizardry?) while preserving the mileage this wheel has seen.
metal_0122
We'd tried to grow plants and trees in this spot for years, to no avail. Decided to use the space to make my first large-scale metal installation. No watering required.
