Crocodiles made of garlic presses, and then painted. These will be used in my new piece, Sang Kancil and the Crocodiles.
Rock climbing? Maintain three points of contact! Working at height? Climbing or descending stairs? Yeah, the same, three points… For a blow-moulded plastic horse? Three points of contact looks like it's working for this one!
You what? Found a blow-moulded plastic horse? Among the bronze Rodins and steel Gormley Angel of the North Maquette? I might have made a mistake!
When is a plastic toy a misplaced treasure? Is it a found object? Was it discarded? An objet d'art, or an installation?
Three points of contact is a safety mantra. Ought I play it safe, take that lesson into this discussion? Am I on Candid Camera, security camera…? Is this a blow-up Banksy-style social statement about loss of innocence, redemption, the evils of globalisation, live and let live? Am I overthinking it — cogito, ergo sum? Artists statements do it all the time, "they" say. I don't even know who the shadowy "they" are.
Play it safe! Just walk away. If it is art, this photo might be famous as its first discoverer. If it's a kids lost toy, it might help them find it… Maybe it's a rocking, ridin' rodeo — a horse's "Rs"?
Little objects I've picked up here and there - they live on my kitchen window sill. Just came across the one on the top, right, among Xmas ornaments I was putting away. No idea what it was part of...(it's an inch and a half tall).
The swan started out as part of a buckle and it's asymmetrical shape gave me the opportunity to continue the assymetry theme. I treated it to an ammonia patina to create a moody steampunk vibe. The antique clockworks was a perfect counter point. The chain is made up of 3 different vintage chains, punctuated on one side with a wonderful vintage key featuring a lion and on the other side a very vintage oblong clock face. A safety clasp keeps it all together. Riveted together to last a lifetime or more. SOLD
Experiment with found object, symbolic and dear to me: I placed this one on a black plate and end up really liking the reflection of light and color. Do you? Check out my other versions submerged in water and placed under a blue sky and or near a stucco wall.

That's old Stanley's favorite news flash when folks get together.
They all shake their heads and tell him that he's a dreamer,
never letting on that it's already happened.
They say he's been around as long as pavement itself.
Just show him a stretch of open road and watch him roll.
