Incremental curves

This piece is a new one, shown in the DC Gallery at CGU April 28th through May 4th 2013.  I made a sculpture a few months back with the same strapping, creating these incremental teardrops shapes.  While everything was piled on the floor I saw these great patterns and undulations of line.  This is the first of a few pieces that will play with the strapping as line.  I have the work leaning, which causes the strapping lines to sag out of the frame and create this space... almost like the impression of a body.

Ave Regina

This is a piece that was up at Claremont Graduate University for the week of May 5-11, 2013.  The space is referred to as The Nook, or alternatively The Niche.  The title is Ave Regina (Hail Queen).  The piece is made of wood, with steel brackets, bolts, nuts, screws, and house paint.  The long painted 2x3's are hinged by the brackets to the wooden arches making them movable, so they could adjust to the space.  (I built this in the sculpture yard for the most part, and then assembled it in the nook.)  The space is about 20 ft deep, and 12 ft wide.  I took most of the pictures at night so there is this dramatic lighting effect going on.  

I should mention this is a vagina dentata, and the second one I have made, at that.
