"Chief 4's Of 8's"
The Great Cheyenne
7'x32"x6"about 200 lb. $7500
Plus packing/crating/shipping/ins. I got a quote of $1200 Tucson to Austin, and will get your
locale info to requote.
My vision started with a search for a door, and I wanted to use big parts that I brought from Colorado to Tucson. The door came thru the Universe, the full size warrior came thru inspiration. There are plenty instances of 4's and 8's throughout. It has a real heavy duty hanging wire on back, and has side legs so it can be freestanding. Severe weight in size and metaphor!
"Sotol DeSoto, So Long"

Started with a vintage sunset decoupage board and tree slice Jesus plaque on top, and severely layered my parts to create a Plains wild-man/Chief with a DeSoto hood badge; showing the strength and futurism of Natives having been conquered then abandoned through time.

(The Family of Mankind)
45"x30"x4" $1500
Live art event at Sculpture Tucson 4/19, where I punched out the top shape of Arizona and built up the 'wall' in parts and metaphor, with Mexico. Solidarity with struggling migrants and against the sabotage of the meaning of the Statue of Liberty by America's internal saboteurs.
series pieces on vintage clipboards, with vintage book covers, and tiny to medium assemblage - screws, glue, and wire. You hang them on a nail by the 'clip', and some due to differing weight lean in a cool way. If you want them to hang straight, use a piece of duct tape on the back. All have a severe meaning of life in the West - Red & White
