The old padlock was found on the back shelf of the shop, reminiscent of a time when things of use were never discarded. (Ill find that key someday.) The lock represents love and commitment and has become popular at destinations around the world. Along with commitment, a little dose of humor can go a long way in a relationship, as long as its on a short chain.
A request to sculpt Bluebirds/Lovebirds proved quiet challenging. Such a redundant subject, how do I make it mine? What evolved was the decision to include heart stones collected across the US. Each sculpture combines a unique heart stone with an age-old adage for the narrative. This opened the door for blending mixed mediums visually and tacitly to complement and unify the sculpture.
For me, Art is about presenting a unique view that may push boundaries, whether they are personal or professional.
