Rubinkam Gallery Commission - Trout Sculpture





Rubinkam Studio Commission - Trout Sculpture

Tonight I began the layout of a trout sculpture for Rubinkam Gallery in Douglas, MI. The colored pods (molds) are actually left over acrylic paint mixtures from gallery owner, Steve Rubinkam. These pods represent over 20 years of paintings. The pods will be bolted on with stainless steel bolts. The sculpture will be 3D, made from stainless steel, and will rest on a metal structure made up to look like underwater reeds, or seaweed. This will be a very fun build! I'll post more pictures of this build as I get further into it. The pictures above are preliminary layouts. The sculpture will measure 12' in length x 8' in height.

The sculpture will be able to be viewed on Saturday, June 19th, at Rubinkam Gallery in Douglas. I'm planning on using this sculpture for Artprize this year in Grand Rapids! I'm in the process of securing a venue right now. More later....
