In an
earlier post I showed a 2D piece I had done for
COMA's 'between the lines' exhibition.
Fiona and I had a coffee with Ken today and he said he could do with a couple more 3D pieces.
So after an afternoon of 'work-work' I spent a couple of hours in the studio-garage and made a start on a 3D piece - photos below - Fiona said, "very book-like Barry".

Still a bit of fixing, finishing, embellishing, adding a couple more elements etc to do. I have put the rusted iron back outside after wetting it so it can cure - at least overnight.
I'm with Fiona... very booklike, and lovely metal.
ReplyDeleteI can see why Fiona said book-like. I love the color. And I love the photo of it against the sky.
ReplyDeleteI love it - and yup, book-ie.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for "booklike" - which will always have its appeal for me. But what I also like about this piece is the possibilities it has for viewing in different conditions from different angles, and taking on a whole different character, as the first photo proves so well! Nice work, B.
ReplyDeleteJM, TL, V & TT - the piece is now complete and yes it is book-like - but chapters of life not pages. In the bright sunlight it looks quite different. B
ReplyDeleteLoved the position you photographed it in and especially the shadowed version....great job.
