 Guerilla Art Installations

 

Graffiti  has been found on the walls of ancient Rome. Art placed without official permission has a storied history. I once knew a woman who hung baby dolls from trees each year the night before an art fair. I had a large snake in a tree downtown for years and draped a cheetah over a barricade at a fair for fun.

 My Art's meaning to Me ( a poem)


One day in 2003, I quietly watching the public pass a collection of my art. When I got home I wrote this.

 


                             Hearing a child squeal with delight,

                             Seeing a street woman giggle,

                             Observing a businessman stifle a smile,

                             Watching a parent teach an animal's name,

                             This is my joy - this is my aim.

 My Art in Clients' Yards


Many of the folks who buy my art keep them indoors: on a shelf, a wall or hanging from the ceiling. I promise to do a future post which presents some  of these. Today I have chosen three  representative pieces to illustrate how my patrons choose display my work on their properties. I had a personal reaction as I picked them. They were executed more than twenty years ago and struck me as cruder than my current work. However, they are fun ( Bottle Heron, Blue Marlin and Farmer's Goat)!
