Carousel Horse
It started life as a worn out barbecue, propane tank, bikes, swinging love seat ,brake drum, Shermen’s bent motorcycle wheel, exhaust pipes from a Honda, a card table. I realized that when I added the overhead rotor I lost stability. Not wanting to attach the piece to the ground, the base was beefed up. Then I was worried about someone stubbing their toe so I added more material and the base got bigger. I liked using a lot of chrome and kaleidoscope of color, but am looking forward to the paint fading and A little corrosion dulling the sculpture. As to the little people I have always been influenced by The Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures in Tucson, I have been there several times and love the little worlds. I make my little worlds or my stories in every sculpture and illustration. My stories are usually about ME and my friends. In this story Sharon gets the best view in the crows nest, while I take take command in the control room. It has been said that I’m a little transvestite , I get a kick out of hearing the stories other people see .
