Rainbow Childhood

I look back on my childhood and marvel at how the line between imagination and reality was blurred. Somehow I needed to try and capture that complex relationship in this artwork. Can you still see the image with your own eyes? Can you still believe in the existence of daydreams nurtured in your mind? At what point did you accept reality as what you see? This sculpture explores the relationship between fantasy and reality in a child's mind.This unique rainbow patina took years to develop and involves plating the work in silver before applying several delicate processes to tweak the metallic reaction to oxygen.
