Burl-esque

2011

Elm Burl, Limestone, & Steel Sculpture

68" x 17" x 13.5"

A subtle figurative form at once both very enticing - yet well protected by a prickly aura - signifies boundary. Comparative physical realities, contrasting idealized "polished" beauty and "protective" survival instinct, perceptually correlated through unnatural growths of a tree burl and the mind-games of human seduction, illicit sensual irony in this "dance". The search for reaching the sublime within contrasting dynamics is a fascinating quest for me.
