Beautiful

27.5” tall, 7.5” wide, 3.5” deep (Wall-hanging)

“Beautiful” short for America the Beautiful, consists of all sorts of old Americana. I wanted it to have a dust bowl or Grapes of Wrath look about it. I also wanted it to convey a feeling of struggle and grit, yet still be beautiful. If you look closely, you’ll see that one of the stag’s legs has been replaced. I found him this way. Someone had welded a metal rod as a replacement for his back leg. One of the most interesting parts of this sculpture is the wooden box it’s made with. This box looks like it was built to organize tools or nails or some other kind of hardware. It’s old, worn, dusty and fill of character. There are four red components that draw your eye up and down. First there is the red in the woman’s apron, then the red of the handle on the side. Third is the old Velvet Tobacco tin, and finally the red wooden ball at the bottom accenting the wolf jaw bone.
