Priscilla's Pickle Palace


I was recently invited to a birthday Pickleball party. I had no idea what it was and too many funny thoughts and ideas flowed into me, so I decided it was the perfect opportunity to have a go at constructing the first (to my knowledge) and only pickle sculpture.

I would have loved to go for a 360 degree perspective but even well-drained pickles are too flimsy to stand up to the weight...




 drained sweet and dill






































Of course I always have to play with the photo editing on my phone...






















... the inevitable collaspe 





I do think this would make a good substitute asana in yoga for the Shavasana at the end of one's practice (I always feel quite tangled and, well, just falling apart/short seems a little more accurate "death" than neatly getting comfortable...  -

 " ...and we will now conclude our practice with the Pickle Posehavsana-manamama, so just collapse from here and feel it! ...
[ later ]
...and coming to a sitting position, bringing hands together,
Namaste."

...






...into the compost bin to break down into new possibilities...

Welding Wonder - Spherical Orientation Scultures




More. More! MORE!

I can't seem to get enough dimensions to play with.
My unquenchable thirst for the challenge, innovation and complexity of constructing sculptures that offer not just a 360 degree orientation but a spherical one, has (for quite some time) had me wondering about welding...
and metal...
and yes,
their relationship to powder coating.  They just seem like a friendly, little love triangle - and as Stephanie Meyer knows, those are a lot of fun to work with as a creative medium.

Eric introduced me to MIG welding this weekend.

























































































...and of course I have to play with photography a bit while capturing some of the spherical orientation possibilities of one of the pieces.  




























I look forward to doing some photos later after the pieces are powder coated:
 playing with shadows, 
displaying them on mirrors, 
photographing them with other objects 
and grouping them together into a bigger structure (yum, more composition play!)
