Tower Hill Botanical near me has a showing of flower and animal sculptures by Sean James Harrington. Here are some rust abstract from a few:

1) Eye on a steer sculpture.

4) Grill in a Pig Sculpture

5) Piglet on two more Pig Grill sculptures.

6) A Rooster Sculptures eye.

7) Rusty Hen detail

    WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You certainly hit the mother lode :D

    #5 .. really like how you angled that shot. It has such a cute piggy face. The angle just adds to the cuteness.

    #1 .. I like the eye. Always fascinates me what one can see when looking through a hole. Like that you kept the eye in focus and made one think about what one could see if they looked through it.

    Great Rust thumb.gifthumbthumb.gif

    Thanks for all the kind words.

    Good stuff here, Don. I'd say that you maximized your opportunity very well with this body of work. I particularly like #3. The Rust Gods were kind to you.

    I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Cool .... are those grills for sale?

    Someone has put a lot of time and effort into collecting all the parts and putting them together.

    The bull grill .. like that shot. The green grass really accents the 'rust' thumb.gif

    Mary, I expect they might be. His website with more work is at http://seanjharrington.com/index.html.

    :D

    Glad you like them. I'll have a few more images after the artist reception in a week. thumb.gif

    Very nice to run into such an opportunity. You grabbed some neat takes. Thanks for also including the larger works themselves. Also neatly imaged. thumb.gif Some seriously creative folks welding these items together. Am always pleased to see such impressive works of art using materials as shown. Very clever.

    Mary, incredibly minimalist website. Hardly any info. headscratch.gif

    Next to no titles and virtually no description.

    Yes, I would guess they are not for sale. I will ask at the reception next week, though, if you are truly interested. :D
