I am working on a new idea and would love to know your artistic thoughts. This has been created using Delph blue paper, folded into paper cranes and then varnished many time so the look like delicate ceramic birds.
Kinetic Sculpture of Saint Mungo below the clock on the west face of the Tron Steeple in Glasgow.
Installed in 2001 and designed by Sharmanka, the sculpture is activated when the steeple bell tolls on the hour. The fish spins, the bird pecks and Saint Mungo raises his staff. I've no idea if it still functions, but I really hope it does.
"Smoky" the dancing skeleton. Completed part of an in progress set. Wildfire theatrical luminescent paint and acrylics on jigsaw cut quarter inch high grade ply. Double sealed and mounted on a stake frame for outdoor installation. First shot is under strong UV light.
Smoky is #1 of 5. The other four are in stages from end carpentry to priming to the third color coat so this very fun commission project is now entering the finish stage.
Came across some amazing angels in stone yesterday, during a visit to a cemetery at Swinton, Greater Manchester.
A graveside memorial favourite in Victorian times, seems like they're making something of a comeback!
Neptune over the door of 177 Trongate in Glasgow. The building was designed by Frank Burnet and Boston and was built in 1925. The sculptor is unknown. I absolutely love the level of detail on this statue.
Michael Snow's "Flight Stop" geese get restored and remounted in the Eaton Centre.
"The geese to me symbolize the diversity of the Toronto people living in a united balance. All the geese have their own unique position. But as a whole, they make a beautiful formation".
It is a 30-foot sculptural installation made out of glass-fiber reinforced concrete.

Ok starting a new art thread for 2023! Here's the deal: a mostly daily thread with a different artist every day (sometimes I repeat from previous years if I feel like featuring other work/projects), primarily modern and contemporary since that's my thing. I'm even making a hashtag for it in case that makes it easier for folks to follow. Enjoy! #art#BigArtThread
