New Piece
I've been very busy lately, but I decided to make a new piece with some very heavy cultural reference. One of my recent pieces (the most recent) is called The Lamellain Barb and Thread of Autosacrifice. This piece is modelled after the needle and barbed thread used by the Maya in autosacrifices of bloodletting where the spine and thread were pierced through the tongue, forskin, or labia of a person. The thread or paper on the ground would collect blood. In some cases, the thread or paper was burned. In some cases, the blood would fall or or be applied to corn which was then used to bake sacred breads. This piece is made of copper, brass, leather. and hemp.
Dark? Yes. Creepy? Yes. Just my style? You bet ya!
