Cows

This cow mobile is not the first wire cows I’ve done. It is the first one done with material inside the wire framework. The early ones were just wire. This piece is available. For information and any ?s/comments please use “contact me” in the menu.

Tupperware Art Tale

One of the many circle-in-circle mobiles was this Tupperware piece. I think it is one-of-a-kind. I made it on a whim probably just before or after a yard sale! That was years ago. Until it returned. Those old Tupperware plates were hovering above a dining room table instead of on it. If they had stayed…

Year 20 of Holiday Gift Making: Hockey Player

The skier and hockey player designs happened around the same time. We were on a trip to Utah to visit the kids and attend our son’s wedding. We work on the road and the nativity piece was in process so it traveled with us. While in Utah I suffered total blockage on the nativity project…

Year 19 Holiday Gift Making: A Nativity

I believe in a source of all creation. Most who do define that as a God. Others believe everything exploded into existence. What was there to explode? We do not know for sure. I will tell you for sure that there are times when it all makes me want to puke explosively. We seem to…

Balancing Black “S” and Neon “O” Shapes

This 2’x2′ sheet metal and wire mobile has been literally hanging around waiting to be documented in this site/blog. This was made when balancing “S” shapes was amusing me. It is lighter and brighter than others so it moves easily and stands out, especially in blue light.

Stick Figure

This dancing stick couple is about 12″ tall and 6″ wide. It has my CP signature on the underside of one leg. I love making them! I can’t stop making them! It is harder than it looks to find, match, shape, fasten and finish them. When they are done a good one looks like it…

Flatcoat Retriever

This project was done to commemorate a loved pet. About 14 inches tall, sheet metal, wire and paint. We see many portraits of pets, yet not so many sculptures of them. We have many images of our pets in the house, zero sculptures, and there’s a sculptor in the family. I’m sure if sculpture didn’t…

Water Skier

Another gift/commission project done from a hotel room. When asked to do a water skiing piece the first place to go seemed to be Google. Search waterski images and the process begins. The coolest images had things in common. Usually a slalom course and big spray. So, after a boxboard mockup or two, the sheet…

A Gift

What kind of gift do you get for a talented artist sportswoman?One answer is to ask Chris Pollock to make something for her. “You know her Chris, something to do with art, tennis, golf… I’ll leave it up to you. Oh, and, no pressure, but her birthday is in two weeks.” Opportunity rarely waits until…

Red Rounds

Sheet metal, paint and wire, about 18 inches high.

Black/White O’s & S’s

Black and White S’s w/Circles. Two of these were made from the reversible door of a junked dishwasher. They are very lightweight aluminum and wire kinetic sculptures, about 12-16 inches tall and wide, depending on the breeze.Black and White S’s w/Circles. This piece is available. For information and any ?s/comments please use “contact me” in…

Year 17 of Holiday Gift Art: Swing Dancers

Holiday ornaments have become an annual artistic activity. Little sculptures (usually kinetic) that often represent some part of life or type of artwork from the year prior. We have been learning to swing dance and that is why the dance design. After some sketching and experimenting, some balancing and bending, this swinging dancing mobile ornament…

Spinning Rings Around the Moon and Circles

This is an example of when I was stacking up circles as these standing mobiles. People were calling them azimuths and planetary alignments. I just called them fun. This is the only one that spun around like this. It is made of painted sheet metal and wire. It is about 2 1/2 feet tall.

Colored Circles on Wavy Base Mobile

This one has some color. So far there has been only one of this kind. It sold very fast. I probably should make more! It is painted sheet metal and wire.

Copper Leaf Mobile #2

This copper mobile is one of the ten plus pieces recently made from an old washing machine tub I found in the scrapyard. I didn’t really know what to do with it. There has been some time to fool around with artwork lately and this is what happened. The old greenish brown cylinder was cool…

Year 16 of Holiday gift Art: Bird w/Holly

The 2017 holiday decoration came out like this. The design usually comes from the forms of recent art projects. This year more time was spent packing and moving art than making it. So, it makes sense that this is an early shape with a little holiday add on. The good part is nobody hated it…

Year 15 of Holiday Gift Art: Toboggan

Somehow the holiday gifts for last year were not documented in this blog. They were done on time for distributing to their various locations. There were about 50 made this year. Santa’s workshop! This week there was some time to get ahead on the Christmas gift design for this year. The next idea is pretty…
