Copper Elephant on the Move
Curiouser and curiouser; this magic that copper produces when Mike puts his hand to it. He’s always telling me that my glass “mistakes” are not mistakes, but opportunities.
Copper Elephant Abstract from the back side
This was an art piece that began on the other side. That’s right . . . this is the back side- the unintentional beautiful side of an otherwise noncohesive attempt to blend finishes. It didn’t turn out how he had planned, so Mike turned it over, and this extraordinary image was revealed. With a skillful hand he finished the piece and turned it into this mesmerizing image; part of a collection of artwork sent recently, to Sacramento, California. You can read more about the commission here.
Elephant Image
I can feel the texture of the hide, smell the dust as he thunders across the desert, or imagine him slipping quietly into the rainforest. He almost looks like a prehistoric painting on an ancient stone wall somewhere in a cave in Africa.
Can you see him? Do you imagine a different image? Do you love to stare at clouds too, and ponder the reveals?
