oval object: wood, paper, paint, dye, ink, shellac, varnish
14.25”w, 10”h, 1”d
This object is one of a group of similarly connected objects, inevitably sharing a sensibility and a record of work and thought. There is an underlying framework, visible or not, that guides the less exacting application of materials. For instance, there may be a visible grid of sorts which gives rise to distortion and sometimes obliteration of that same grid or framework. The object is nothing more than a repository of action and thought. This object refers to nothing other than itself and makes no claim of meaning or transcendence.

A note on bands: There are two materials that are used, aluminum and wood.
~In most cases, bands on round objects are aluminum (as time passes, more and more ovals are banded with aluminum). They are fabricated on metal bending jigs and riveted together. In almost all cases, the aluminum bands are painted.
~On some oval objects (a smaller percentage as time passes), wood bands are used, mostly white oak. The wood bands are bent using a long tray of boiling water, the end “joint” is tacked together with copper tacks, then placed on forms to dry.
