A Knife, a Tree, and a Morning Glory. One title or three? As all three, I will say the knife is blood red, and cut from a mahogany heart, once it was sucking life in the Amazon, now it lives again and rests on it point, and is life size, tall as me. From its handle grows a bronze Pinion Pine, and a stainless steel Morning Glory, side by side, each as big as the other. Bottom up, it stands 9 feet, the Knife is 6 feet and the Tree and Morning Glory are three foot high and across. This sculpture stands on the point of the knife. I am going to drill a hole in the floor of Charles Cowles Gallery and stand this piece by inserting a one inch stainless steel rod 18 inches up through the knife blade and 5 inches sticking out of the point of the knife that can be stuck down into the one inch hole in Charles Cowles Gallery. The show opens on May 28th. This is but one of the 7 pieces in the show.
