Apollo's uplifted - left his blues behind.
Laughing and twisting, he's blooming on high.
Crazy with sanity
Artist's statement:
For some time (years!) I've been collecting stuff. Bits of metal, pieces of wood, odd little toys, broken jewelry, bones, hardware, wire, keys—a treasure trove (at least by my standards) of fabulous found objects. This stuff is my flotsam and jetsam collection, raw materials for recreation and recombination into images, allegorical, mythological, enigmatic, personal—and yet—only recently have I dedicated a room for doing the actual assemblage.
Most of my assemblages have one or more concurrent themes (my thoughts as I worked). I often write little ditties to accompany each.
