Luchadora Series

 

"Viva la Cerveza"

Beer can collage nailed to acrylic painting

Luchadoras are the female fighters of  Mexican wrestling/Lucha Libre

They are a symbol of Power, Strength and Bad-Assery

To me, they represent what a woman is capable of but not given credit for,

that if challenged, we will F*ck you up - and look good doing it.

These paintings along with other BoneWerx goodies are currently showing at:

 CANDY BABEL: 1219 NE ALBERTA ST. 

Thru February 28th

Wrestling is one of the last true rebellions

Baring my process

"Dare to be Bare"

Mixed metal collage on upholstery fabric with green fur and bottle caps

For my July Show at Scandals with Sylvia Mann

Inspired by some NUDE PHOTOS I found of Jean-Michel Basquiat.

I figured a male nude would be a good fit for my show at a gay bar.

I started with a sketch

Then scavenged my scrap pile for the right patinas

 

Like creating my own puzzle, assembling the pieces is the fun part

 

Each piece is hammered, shaped and sanded before I glue and nail it down.

 

I added this little pun as an inside joke.

 Hope to see you all at Scandals!
