Head Start
Well, I finished the project I had been working on (the model of which my son did not like) and entered it in response to a "call for entries" for a gallery show. The show was called "A Show of Heads". My mother and my partner thought it was perfect for me, since I like to carve heads (as longtime readers of this blog know). I just learned that my piece was not accepted into the show. Oh well. Next time. But for you loyal few, below is a picture of my piece.
I called the piece "Gossip" aka "Lashon Hora". In this piece, you start the gossip by turning the handle and telling the first head (who looks strangely like one of my grandmothers). Another turn of the handle causes the first head to turn and "tell" the second head (whose hair was painted the same color as my son's. Really.). Another turn and the second guy tells the middle guy, and so forth. The last guy looks sad because, it turns out, the gossip is about him. I will be posting a video soon.
P.S. Thanks to my lovely partner R., hand model extraordinaire.
