Tough Duckie Sculpture

TOUGH DUCKIE had some touch luck -- he was made from old stuff no one wanted. Now he's a fabulous work of art and so late in life -- he's finally happy. He's made out of a vintage coat hanger, a painted gourd that was once a maraca, shoe strings, driftwood, screwdriver handles, a coat hook, a piano stool foot, and hardware. The objects I use in my work are living entities to me. I select ones that are filled with a vital energetic quality and retain a sense of human touch. I rescue many from trash piles or flea markets. I bring them home and watch how they communicate with other old things in my studio. Sometimes they laugh at each other, sometimes they scream. But, ultimately, in some definitive, yet inexplicable way, some of these particular old things request to be joined together. So I grant their request. It is more than anything a labor of love.
