The Bubo is an aluminum sculptural wall piece that was inspired by a photo given to me. In order to translate the photograph into metal work, I first resized the image, and traced the outside of the Bubo. However, as the original photo was of a three dimensional object, and taken from a side view, rather than a face-on view, I had to take some artistic license in reinterpreting the image to be made as a metal work. |
| My goal was to stay true to the original image, doing a fairly close resemblance (or translation) of the image from the actual "side view." It's basically one large eye from the side view. All this might not be so easy to see in the photos. However the final aluminum piece is what it is… a sculptural metal interpretation of a photographed image. |  |
I call photos "image manipulations." It's a photo, however the image is actually manipulated to start with, either by the choices the photographer makes while taking the image, or later on, by using software. A camera takes a picture and then the image is "reproduced." So to me a very general category of photos are manipulated images. So some of my work begins with manipulated images which I further manipulate by translating them into aluminum.
Bubo is the name given to the horned owl, also known as the eagle owl.
Currently working on some aluminum sculpture walking sticks…. so how long does it take me to make one of these walking sticks..?? What part of the lenght of lifetime are you talking about..?? like the ability to "look" at something to know if it's "balanced," or is it the randomness of zen expression, the "not Knowing" of your physical & mental movements…? Can you be in touch with such..?? i am.
(or really (the reality), im "trying" to be in touch… hhahahaaa….)
