I often turn to my extensive Asian travels for inspiration. This work, “Love Buddha”, was derived from photos I shot with my old Nikon FG while traveling in Laos and Cambodia in the late 1990’s.
Love Buddha – 21.5″ x 13″ x 3″ – Handmade pottery, ceramic, dinnerware, a variety of glass, copper beads, smalti, and mirror on a hand built, cement based substrate.
A few of my original source photos & inspiration
One of the things I love most about this piece is it’s dimensionality & incorporation of mirror, which casts wonderful light and color around its environs throughout the day and changing seasons. You can see that a bit in this photo from a gallery show.
