DANIEL GIORDANO, ‘Study For Brother . . .’
from phallic . . to chainsaw-carved rough, wooden stilettos,
can a giant foot fetish, be far behind ?
in a word: if you can’t take the heat / stay out . . of the kitchen.

apart from the passion,
the piece did a wonderful dance between light and frothy, gluey and plastic / and . . strong and metal.
I forgot to ask . . what part the ‘eel’ was ??
my favorite part was how the metal infrastructure, worked as ‘hips’ and legs’ to connect the rough-hewed ‘stilettos’ . . . to the body.
grace . . in simple motion.
one smooth move. sculpture – at it’s most basic . . essence.
DANIEL . . on point.
DANIEL . . on the right.
stilettos that looked like . . clomping, friggin’ – boots.
chainsaw-carved from 2 blocks of wood, his dad had cleared from the family grounds, upstate.
talking . . about stiletto fetishes !!
not one pair to be found, in this Bushwick crowd.
yep / most def worth the trek.
go see this passion-hearted, no holds-barred ‘dance’ – in the round, and, in the . . WILD !!
for yourself.
you – just got another week.
ps: ‘WILD’ – as in ‘wildest of imaginations’.
