Artwork Description:
I poured the metal for this piece with my sculpture professor, the late Heri Bert Bartscht, at the foundry of the University of Dallas in 1981. I used a technique and special alloy which I had developed as an undergraduate student there five years earlier. Soon after my S. I. N. T. G. show, the work was accepted into a couple of national small sculpture competitions. Sand-cast zinc-aluminum alloy with wax-based pigment; plexiglas and purple heart base with currency.
