I'm really liking how this piece turned out. Created on an antique butcher's tool box I picked up at a garage sale, It's got some great character and, being 3-D, has an iconic feel to it that really defines the space around it.
While a painting can get attention by standing out from the simple walls around it, this piece gains importance through its disruption of the living space. Instead of a book, chest or table, which sits idly by, this piece opens it's contents to the viewer and forces them to see if from a variety of angles. While a table sits and fades into the background, this piece continues to stare and jump. Its gaze follows you as you move around it, and, unlike a painting, it turns and shifts, never quite giving you the same effect.
