Shadow Puppets
Shadow Puppets
All my work exists in a liminal space - forms that aren’t quite sculpture, lines that aren’t quite illustration. Shadow puppets are already an absurd, playful mix of abstraction and representation, and pretending to sculpt them in wood, all the more so. The central petal motif of this work is defined by its absence, and the surrounding details, are playful embellishments to that negative space.
Shadow Puppets is an edition of 16, all of which are available now. It’s a 22 inch square made of 13 layers of white birch wood and produced with various oil stains. This piece comes ready to hang and does not require any framing.
Each piece is signed and numbered on the back.
Artwork is available for pick up at no cost from Oakland, CA or ships for an additional fee. Please note International buyers are responsible for any import taxes.
**Please note that I do everything in my power to ensure that the artwork will arrive immaculate and undamaged. If the mail carrier has a bad day, or you drop the piece after you open it, or for any other reason the work is damaged, I consider all my work to have a no-limit, free-repair warranty. If you ship any piece back to me with return postage, I will do everything I can to fix the damage.**
There is always natural variation between sheets of plywood, and sometimes different shipments of the same variety can have a wide range of colors. Photographing these pieces has also proved consistently difficult. I do not guarantee that the shipped to you will exactly match the photos of the prototype.
I endeavor to make my work as robust as possible, but the designs are still delicate and need to be handled with care. As for most artwork, best practice is to keep these pieces out of prolonged direct sunlight or excessively humid environments.
