Very old piece

john Lucas

I'm putting together a show for a local gallery and showing my conceptual pieces for the first time. should be interesting. It's all happening at the last minute so will take a lot of work to get it done. Anyway I thought you all would enjoy this piece that I did probably 13 or 14 years ago.

It's called Fertility Experiment # 29. I'm actually planning on 2 more of these with different occupations but haven't had time to do them. I will probably do them this year if at all possible.

This is another older piece that will be in the upcoming show. This is a piece I did after my cousin died from Breast Cancer at 50. She married a Black man and had two wonderful kids one of whom died in Iraq. I was doing inside out turnings back then and was playing with how you can put stuff inside the turning when you re-assemble it. So I made the resin egg with miniature goblets representing the kids. It was quite a challenging project. I put two different inside out turnings together so the side windows are different than the front and back. The lower stem was turned off center and steam bent. The upper Stem was just steam bent. the male goblet was simply turned with the captured ring and then the belly was carved.
