Portfolio > as i came upon a clearing

A series of bronze GI Joe figures with tree branch limbs and heads. Tree branches were attached to the torsos and I performed an organic burnout which involves burning out the actual branches and replacing the cavity with bronze.

Exhibited:
Comox Valley Art Gallery (2008)
Harvey Levine Gallery (2006)
TRUCK Gallery (2005)
