when i was asked to participate in the new show for Quint Contemporary Art (Homing In), a show which required a piece with size limitations (no larger than 2 feet wide), i didn’t have anything ready to go. i usually try and have a new piece for every show, but i didn’t get much notice for this one. i was already working on a huge piece for a commission job, and i wasn’t sure i’d have enough time to complete even a small piece.
after about a week of contemplating what to do, an idea came to me like a flash. all at once i knew what i was going to create, what it would be made of, and even where i wanted to hang it in the gallery. what you see here is the result of that flash – an ArrowDeco form made of steel and frosted acrylic. the only modification to the idea was that i used frosted acrylic for the arrow instead of frosted glass – the glass was going to take too long to get. as it happened, i didn’t have the piece finished until the night before the show…as usual. (at least i finished it!)
thanks to a great guy named elliot hathaway, a fine welder (and also a photographer), i got the steel welded just in time for a very reasonable price. thanks elliot!
ah, the perfect spot. just above your head, in the doorway, as you walk from the front to the back gallery.
there are more, better quality photos HERE

Great idea and excellent execution (as usual).
