 Human figures in brass assemblage


Brass parts collected from various sources and assembled using brass nuts, bolts and stainless steel lock washers. I have chosen four diverse examples. The top one is comprised of curtain hardware and portrays my dad in an angry state. The second I made for my mother to represent a Javanese dancer. Next a1950's traffic policeman was created from lock parts and a spring for  his hair. Finally, when it was requested that I produce work to display as part of a multi-media tribute to Dada, I fabricated the family at bottom and their pet. For this the elements were primarily lamp parts with plant pot bases.
