sculpture
This is the first of two flying sculptures I made a few years ago. The shapes for the one shown here were hand cut using a scroll saw. It currently hangs from the ceiling in a corner of the studio.
The other flying sculpture no longer exists. I dismantled it and used some of the parts in another work.

The signature, date, and title are at the bottom of the white side.
I had the base for this one sitting on a shelf for a few years and finally figured out what to do with it. Here is the result.
I installed the branch over a month ago and wasn’t pleased with the idea on what to do with it. Then early one morning solution hit me and I cut the top part of the branch shorter and put the plate with cakes on top.

Another detail of the broken butter pat. I wanted to make it appear to be melting. I’m still in my drip stage.
