Wildwood

This piece began with some sections cut from a wooden headboard. The face I discovered there was unsettling enough to inspire a whole creature around it. Once under way I decided to resist my typical inclination to think in terms of motors and electric components and focus rather on a piece with more fluid, gestural lines that would imply movement rather than demonstrate it. The result is a little more unsettling I think. The head can also be positioned to face in different directions.
