The Weathermen say we could have anywhere between 6” to 12” of snow in the next couple of days, along with intense cold reaching into the 10s. I’m all for it! Even more of an excuse to hunker in and work on my project, which is coming along nicely. In fact visions of the next one have been haunting me day and night. It will have something to do with cactus.
Friday, before the weather turned, Sandy and I hiked the La Cieneguilla Petroglyph site for decimated chola branches which will be part of the new project. What amazing forms these branches create as they molded in to oblivion.
The pieces might have moveable parts so as to engage one to participate in each sculpture. The main parts...ie snake, animal, rock, gravel...will stay stationary, and the branches and additional animals and insects will be able to change positions as per the viewer. Think it’s a cool idea, thanks to Bob, our longtime friend. I’m also thinking of putting a glass cloche over each one to protect from dust and missing pieces. It’ll hold each sculpture together yet enable it for viewing.
