i left a comment on the post before this that applies to this one regardig local color. But this does look like certain finish fetish minimalist neo goth death metalist people - I think thier work verges on fashion, which it kind of is, so then what? Is it just a nice object to focus your mind on? If so why plexiglass?
ReplyDeletethe photos i posted probably don't show it enough... but i think he generally uses too much humor and whimsy to associate much with the goth minimalist stuff.
ReplyDeletethe log is like a plastic toy, or a fairyland log. his stuff has the color and shine and artificiality of the wizard of oz movie.
Mike's really good with the plexi. It's a gift that he shouldn't ignore.
ReplyDelete+my word verification is vieracti.
weird?
