In late 2009, Grand Rapids Michigan was host to the 1st annual Artprize competition. For a few short weeks artists from all over the world converged on the downtown area and contributed to the largest art show of it's kind. I entered a sculpture that was an amalgamation of mediums and styles that I have used and enjoyed, carved gourds, stretched canvas over panels and my brightly colored acrylic paintings. This was the result.
My next piece is similar in technique but will certainly take on a meaning and personality of it's own. It's almost certain that I will enter the contest again this year but I am still undecided about whether this will be my entry, either way, here it is as I have imagined it.
