Making #91

I have completed my work for 100 Hammers!  Working with hammer #91 challenged my perspective and creative process.  Initially, I had a clear visual for how I wanted to present the concepts for the project; however, in the process of making,  I found that it wasn't cohesive with how the materials behaved.  So, along with re-purposing the use of these objects, I had to re-purpose my ideas about how the materials would be combined toward my creative vision.  I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome!
The combining of concrete, leather, and metal enabled me to dynamically celebrate the reuse of hammer #91.  The metal pieces in hammer "#91.2"(leather handle), were salvaged from a scrape yard that ships the pieces off for melting, where they would have found a distinct new purpose.
If 100 Hammers finds enough contribution to host a group show, I will be donating these sculptures to the cause of continuing the inspiration that David gives to his community and other artists.
