Two pieces from the Union Exhibition and more

Here are two pieces from the Union University exhibition Bits of Redemption. The artist statement from the show is included in a recent post as a re a couple more pieces from the show. The first piece in this post is titled, prehistoric camera. Thanks goes out to Jayme Burchett for that title. I thought that when she revealed her impression about the piece, it was perfect, because you can hold it in your hands just like a camera and pretend you are Fred Flintstone or one of the Geico cavemen taking some sort of prehistoric photo. The second piece is, recomposition with mower blade. This is my largest asemblage piece to date. It is the one that had a catastrophic failure as I was placing it in the box to ship. [no worries, I fixed it… TWICE… before the exhibition.] It is good and sturdy now. Alana and I returned home yesterday from a trip to Union where I gave a lecture, attended a reception and reclaimed my artwork. To top off a hectic week which began with the breaking of my arm, today I presented a paper at a Christian Aesthetics colloquium titled, Christian Aesthetics: Why Good Christian Art is Good no Matter what it Looks Like. It sure would have been convenient to break my arm this Sunday [tomorrow] instead of last Sunday.
