Size & Details

Celebrating western creatures large and antlered, this contemporary artwork features an unlikely gathering of moose, elk and deer, all marching steadily together: an undulation of ungulates, one might even call them. Each individual character in this intricate work is handmade from salvaged metal sourced from vintage objects like coffee cans, cookie tins and serving platters, artfully arranged on a wooden background treated with sheet music. Look closely to see the unique detailing on each animal, each one distinct from the next. A conversation-starter sure to complement your mountain modern space, offered in a landscape orientation to suit wide walls (and perfect to center over your favorite comfy sofa).

Medium: salvaged metal on vintage music sheet wood background
Size: 38" H x 65" W (framed)
Frame: modern black wood float frame with Museum Plexi
Hardware: ready to hang with D-rings on back
Part of a limited series each produced with a unique set of rescued materials.

Process

The inspiration for this piece arrived somewhat by happenstance. I was moving an overloaded bin of salvaged metal from one side of my workshop to the other; naturally, the topmost layer slid off like snow in an avalanche, scattering oblong pieces of rescued scrap – cookie tins, serving platters, coffee cans and road signs – across the floor. I took in the beauty of this unexpected mess: all different colors and shapes intermingled and overlapping, moving together towards the door like they had someplace to be. It struck me that each of these pieces of material could represent a distinct creature in an elegant herd, and as I took a pair of tin snips to the first one I grabbed, angling carefully to begin the initial suggestion of a stately moose, Mountain Meadow was born.

Each piece of antique metal - from vintage tea tin to salvaged barn siding - was collected from an abandoned space throughout the western landscape. I have gleaned old barns, abandoned ranch houses, and forgotten hunting camps deep in the woods to collect the salvaged materials used in this work. Each individual elk, moose and deer in this grid was cut from a distinct piece of ephemera, which carries its own history and story.
