three recently completed sculptures

I am always surprised just how long it takes me to finish artwork, especially sculptures. Aspects of these sculptures were begun fall of 2009, generally finished in July- only to have me go back and resolve them further this past August.

It's almost as if each phase of work has to "marinate" for awhile before moving into the next working phase or resolution. I currently have at least 10-15 other projects in the studio in various stages of either being worked on, or "marinating". In this particular series, there are about 5 or so more pieces coming...

"vessel #1(us)" 4.5'x2.5'x1', terracotta, handmade paper, thread, silk, wire, wax

"vessel #1(us)" DETAIL. 4.5'x2.5'x1', terracotta, handmade paper, thread, silk, wire, wax

"vessel #2 (hiding place)" 23"x20"x16", steel, handmade paper, terracotta, leaf, thread, wax, pigment.

"vessel #2 (hiding place)" DETAIL. 23"x20"x16", steel, handmade paper, terracotta, leaf, thread, wax, pigment.

"vessel #3 (contemplation)" 3'x2'x32", steel, wire, silk, wax, terracotta, thread.

a few small paintings

I believe these are done, though sometimes you never know :). I just might jump back into them after a few months...

"the finding..." 12"x12"

"goodbyes" 5"x5"

"journey" 6"x6"

"scramble" 6"x6"

New works coming....

I am very very excited to be working on a new series of works- both in painting and sculpture. Hope to have the first few posted in the next month or so.... In the meantime, you can find out what I am up to by visiting my semi-regular "Studio Journals" blog at:  http://www.jaynemccoy.blogspot.com
