Two-step your way into this mixed media sculpture, where dozens of unique cowboy boots line up for the big dance. Each boot is handcut from unique salvaged metal materials, including car doors, coffee cans, oil drums, and patio tables, some gently doused with paint and others adorned with a touch of silkscreen, offering a textural exploration of a country and western favorite, each boot as unique as the folks gathered at the honky tonk. The perfect piece for your modern ranch home, or any place in need of a little rustic rodeo style.

Story

Story

Imagine each boot were a character.

I’ve been exploring this style of mixed media artwork – rows of repeating animals and objects of a specific theme, each one alike but very much a unique character – over the last year. (You can check out the Western Pack Series for some examples of the fauna that have come to life in metal.) I’d had some great country classics playing in the shop one evening, sorting through some reclaimed scrap, planning for a new piece, when in my dreamy honky-tonk-inspired state, it occurred to me that a repeating theme of cowboy boots might not only be visually interesting, but a fun representation of the people gathered at a Friday rodeo line dance. Imagine each character were a boot – or even, that the rodeo was populated only with boots, each moving of its own volition, enjoying the sights and sounds of the big event, with its own personality and objectives – just as individual human guests might enjoy the rodeo.

I got to snipping away, creating each boot ‘person’ as an homage to the folks I’ve observed and revered at many a rodeo. A Night at the Rodeo was born.
