Artist Statement – Bird Head
Another wall sculpture that I created is Bird Head. Inspired by the TV magpies of the 1950’s, this sculpture honors the cartoon characters of Heckle and Jeckle. Being a smart aleck has been something that I have always admired. By sheer coincidence, I used the former garage of Frank Moser at 37 Hollywood Street in Hastings on Hudson, NY. as my second New York studio. Frank Moser was an artist and co-founder of Terrytoons cartoon films which produced Heckle and Jeckle. I used that space for 15 years. The steel parts are heated with an acetylene torch, hammered, shaped and stick welded. After brushing the surface with an electric wire wheel, the surface is coated with Val oil.
