Progress is coming along on “The Birth of Color”. Here is a photo of some of the components of “The Birth of Red”.
You have to use your imagination still, as it’s only partially complete.
The cyclone will hang a bit away from the wall, and sprouting out of it will be the stems, which will be bright red. Growing on the stems will be clusters of bright red plums and pepper-like pods, with bright red leaves.
I’ve been in the studio for days and days, making red, yellow and blue leaves and fruits. They are all over my big work table along with the cyclones. And I’ve spent two days at the machine shop, welding stems.
Some of the next steps include making more of the fruits and leaves, welding the blue stems and completing the yellow, making the fruit and leaf clusters, figuring out how the components will all hang together, sandblasting the fruit and leaf clusters, and finally painting the stems.
I hope you enjoy seeing a bit of the process!
