Sculpture and Materials

Sculptors love objects and the materials they are made from. So it's disconcerting when you notice that a favorite material no longer is available or even exists

The little winter Clementine citrus used to come in small wooden crates. I hated throwing them out because I loved the bright orange and blue printed wood. One solution to re-use them was to create wings for this angel. Alas, he's now one of a kind, as the crates no longer exist.

This year's Clementines come in a mesh bag. Good-bye little crates. Have you noticed any materials that you love or take for granted suddenly gone?

Try another store... Here in RI, Stop and Shop still has the clementines in crates.

Love the use you put them to :)
