DETROIT HOMESTEADING / NEW YORK ARTISTS – ON THE MOVE
JEFFREY TRANCHELL has a great, great piece . . .
in the SAFE GALLERY POP-UP: ‘THE BURN SHOW’ / SAT JULY 20, 2019
(see post below for details)
it seems as if a whole bunch of the art is going to go up in flames – in the bonfire ??!!!
JEFFREY TRANCHELL . . ‘Burn Hat’ / YES !!!! YES !!!! & MORE YES !!!!
this baby – was made to burn !!!
hand-made specifically for the show, it’s a DIY wicker-style ‘hat’.
ps: the ‘D’ is for Dylan, as in fellow Detroit-based artist DYLAN SPAYSKY – who has been teaching Jeffrey how to weave wicker baskets recently / got to love it !!
although at first glance, or from a digital photo, anyway !!
the hat appears to be made from DIY multi-colored craft wicker (!!), it’s actually made from differently colored ‘bomb fuse’ wire . . . all the better – to BURN, BABY BURN !!!
this is one of Jeffrey’s more conservative, early attempts !!
in fact his first attempt. pretty darn good.
who doesn’t love a primitive – primitive ?
Jeffrey writes that Dylan Spaysky makes a lot of wicker-based work, and that “he taught me down by the boat slip that is our local swimming hole.”
in Detroit ? they have swimming holes ?
oh, Brooklyn, you are so over – and, you don’t even know it.
