Older Art
Tower
|
Tesserae or mosaic, on those roundish lamp bases, then they are stacked up and glued together. Some fun. I sold these at Palapas in Palm Springs when I first came to the desert, in the late 90's.

Do not know what happened to this, a nice lady bought it at a yard sale. I was very angry at the time that I made this. Grr, still am. I made it in the late 80's.

Clay Copy of Akhenaton Stone Sculpture
|
Akhenaton was pharaoh of Egypt in I think about 2000 BC, my luck to get a crush on a dead guy. He was married to gorgeous Nefertiti and credited with being the first monotheist. His strange appearance is attibuted to inbreeding. Made in late 80's.

Quilted Velour Jungle Scene
|
Only the piece on top is mine. It is made of one piece of velour, painted with dyes. The dyes are heat-set, washed out, the piece is quilted and stretched. This was my favorite work using this technique. Made in the mid-80's.

Sabre Tooth Tiger
|
Soapstone carving of an imaginary animal skull, based on a lion. It took me a week to make this, with very silly tools like steak knives and coping saws. My partner at the time thought that stone carving made me foul.
