Wow! Your own bad self. "Shore" has terrific color. Me, I'm scared of color. How much stuff do you have to collect for your pieces? I think your work is very harmonious and graceful. Glad you wrote so I could see your work.

Thank you! I have a stash of material I have collected over probably years, just things I spot as I pass them. Getting to the stage now where I could do with lots more. As well as the form, one of the things that interests me most about this piece is the welding to attach pieces - I always have problems working out how to 'naturally' link objects.

Wood working taught me to attatch via angles/interlocking joints. key ways are helpful too. Do you use dowels, ir Pins? With some of the materials you use I can immagine the difficulty with not wanting to affect the piece by attatchent. Have you tried drill bits intended for glass or porcelin? Magnets also could be a very sublte option( insert/glue magnetized iron into a form (like a shell) then attatch). Might be interesting to try the material used for magnetic signs on car doors-comes in a rolls and can be cut with a razor blade.
The approaches you are using now seem to be well integrated.

It's all just bound with wire or rested against other parts of the piece. I don't really like the idea of affecting / making holes in the materials, but then I keep thinking that if I had a soldering iron that would work quite well, and be quite unobtrusive. That maget idea sounds interesting, as long as they were visible...

I see. Does the effect of attatching something have to be done to not Affest & Effect each material?
Is that to maintain the pureness of the items?
Is it to keep your own hand away from the materials?
Just curious.
Those questions lead me to other question.

Ideally, each part would still exist as a single unit, the attaching being a temporary and reversable thing. I enjoy the transience of these object relationships, and think they reflect more honestly the life of each piece (permanent bonds, given the right weather conditions / enough force/ etc will break over time anyway). It seems more natural to me to accept this and not try to force a permanance. I like being led by the materials I find, and what life they display, rather then getting directly involved in altering their individual forms.

Solid. I was curious. I both enjoy and respect that ethic. Its' enjoyable because of the care,consideration and space you give the objects and the methods of attatchment fit that "space". I respect it becuse it strangly gives me a warm feeling that someone is really interacting with the world as it currnetly exists. Not to be a total ass, but it's got good Zen. To see the world in each fleeting glimpse is to get a sence of it's timeless magnitude.

Exactly... and thank you.

Looks like the rifle that hung innocently on my uncle's wall and then one day went off and perferated the cat... but that's beside the point... lovely effect of twirliness :clap:
