I Know You Are, But What Am I?

I Know You Are, But What Am I? was made with sheet metal, lots of buttons, wire and acrylic paint. The buttons were given to me by an artist friend who knew I'd do something with them. Thanks Gaby! Thanks Domy!

The Shoemaker's Wife



While walking a green country road, I found a woman's shoe shattered by the wayside. I decided to put the shoe back together again like all the king's horses and his men tried to put Humpty Dumpty back together. "The Shoe Maker's Wife" is made with wire, nails, slate roof tiles (ardoise), rusty bits of metal, a pot metal representation of a classical temple (which I think might have come from a trophy of some sort), various fibers--natural and synthetic and a reflector off a bike.

Alors que je me promenais sur un petit chemin vert de campagne, j'ai trouve une chaussure de femme eclatee en plusieurs morceaux. J'ai decide de reassembler les morceaux ensemble. "The Shoe Maker's Wife" est faite avec du fil electrique, des clous, des morceaux d'ardoise, de metal rouille, et une insigne en metal representant un temple de style classique (qui je pense doit provenir d'une sorte de trophe), des fibres variees naturelles et synthetiques, et un reflecteur arriere de velo.

Flower

"Flower" was made with seed pods from a tree I know not the name of. The black enamel metal disk is from a stove top. A thin metal bar is the stem which is attached to a piece of wood covered with moss I found while walking in the Voie Verte near my home. "Flower" measures 117 centimeters.


"Flower" a ete realisee avec des cosses de graines d'un arbre dont je ne connais pas le nom. Le disque de metal emaille provient d'une gaziniere. La tige est une fine barre de metal attachee a une piece de bois recouverte de mousse que j'ai trouve en me promenant sur la voie verte pres de chez moi. "Flower" mesure 117 centimetres.
