I recently relocated my studio across town. Once all the dust had settled I was faced with the challenge of getting back to work in an unfamiliar space. I have a long running series of Squid sculptures in my portfolio so I chose this familiar place to begin my work again. My facility being in its infancy, a Baby Squid seemed appropriate (perhaps an offspring of my earlier Giant Squid piece).
This piece was designed around an aluminum fishing reel mechanism. If you watch closely you can see that the head travels in an up-and-down motion in addition to the rotating tentacles and eye.
Materials:
Fishing reel, chandelier parts, toy eyeball, garmet steamer, shoe forms, motor, teapot spout, LED, scrap aluminum.
