Description
Hey Everyone The B,B & B show has been over a year in the making, a few of the pieces in the show ive been working on in my spare time for over two years. Every day it draws closer to October 14th and 15 I'm becoming more and more nervous. Some of my more unusual sculptural pieces as well as my BSV doll work will be featured in the show and if ANY of you are within a few hours driving distance of Logan,WV id recommend a weekend roadtrip as the show is going to be quite unique!
For those not familiar with my somewhat darker work, All of the elements in the above poster (aside from the peacock feathers, and the antique chemical bottles and fossil) were made by myself. The starling was a "gift" from my neighbors cat that I taxidermied, the nailed skull is a resculpted medical school fetal skull cast, the other smaller skull is a resin cast I made from an actual skull, the nails are resin replicas I cast from real nails, the antique deaths head moth Is a specimen I relaxed and reposed and mounted under that tiny glass dome and the "wooden" stands that the skull and the moth sit atop are casts I made of 130 year old antique wooden taxidermy stands. The wooden "shrine" containing all of the items I built using over 35 different pieces of carefully cut wood that i then stained, aged and finished.
If anyone is interested in seeing more work like this follow the show page on FACEBOOK over the next few weeks we're going to be posting a lot of new work!.
