Birds, Blooms and Bugs
The shop at Rancho Milagrito is showing two pieces of work as a part of the Birds, Blooms and Bugs Exhibition in the Phoenix Airport Museum. The museum is located in Terminal 3 at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. This exhibition will run November 2, 2013 through May 4, 2014.
The two free standing pieces are shown below:
Gadfly
The Gadfly is a free standing metal sculpture, found object piece. A refitted carpenter drill serves as it's base.
Gadfly: Latin derivative: Flamboyansis Buzzin' Aroundasis.
Description: Exaggerated wing span and rapid wing fanning ability is said to have encouraged forest burnings in dry months. Gadfly's rareness to this region is considered of positive value as it only takes one Gadfly to wreck an entire garden party!
Note: When present in a given area, all other life forms nearby are by default, moved to the Endangered Species List. Nonetheless, absolutely lovely to behold!
Angel Claw
This piece intermittently moves between bug life, and plant life. It is an assemblage of both found metal, and a seed pod, taken from the devils claw plant of the Southern Arizona Region. The artist forages these pods and commits them to a process which then renders them in his words to "Angel Claws".
