A new series of artworks, Open-Ended, made from wood, steel, and tool steel.
Shown are Open-ended
#1 (in the wooden box), Open-ended #2 (upright steel
box with compartment), and Open-ended #3
(oblong steel box).
These works make visual references to Jasper Johns, Joseph Cornell, and Santa Fe.
The art-historical idea is to restore cross-like forms to artwork vocabulary by
avoiding the Christian vocabulary conventionally present in such shapes.
Thus the use of antique open-ended wrench forms: tools held in the hand,
tools accommodating a variety of nuts and bolts. These "open-ended implement
wrenches," as they are described by wrench collectors, were supplied by
manufacturers of farm implements to serve as an all-purpose wrench for
adjustments and repairs.
Andy Conklin and Peter Taylor did the fine craftwork for the pieces. The wood is milled
from our ash tree cut down years ago, the steel is from the Logan Steel Bargain Barn
run by my friends at Logan Steel, and the wrenches are from flea markets. Wrench
identification assisted by Google Images. Andrei Severny took the photographs.
