Double Rabbit
“Double Rabbit”, 72”h. x 57”w. x 17”d. steel with paint. 1998
Chinese Calligraphy has always fascinated me. I created these sculptures with admiration for brush strokes on paper. This piece represents the Rabbit in a hybrid form: the two dimensional Chinese calligraphy creating the bottom in red and the black leaping three-dimensional piece on top. The steel elements of the sculpture are heated with an acetylene torch, hammered, shaped and stick welded. After brushing the surface with an electric wire wheel, the surface is coated with paint.
