Bicycle Gone Upside Down

July 15, 2011 by John Norwood Leave a Comment

I found this bike nearly a year ago and was not sure what to do with it since I have not ridden a bicycle for at least 30 + years. So, it dawned on me that I could flip it over and paint it silver and black. It also presents a foam medical box sculpture. It makes for an interesting piece to look at when people enter my College Point studio. BTW …  I think the bike is a Schwinn.

Vlad The Demon Impaler

July 14, 2011 by John Norwood Leave a Comment

Another sculpture made of Marlboro cigarette butts and glue. This piece is slightly demonic with a rather blatant phallic  reference.

Foam Person Sculpture

July 13, 2011 by John Norwood Leave a Comment

I assembled this rather happy gent a few months ago from foam packaging materials. He looks a bit demonic because of the orange paint used but overall, his general mood is carefree and go-lucky. He’s approximately 6’6″ and because of the foam, extremely light. Since this photo some repairs have been made to this foam sculpture. I do not have a name for this yet but I am open to any suggestions.
