Michael Joy's Sculptures
28 Pins
Michael Joy's Sculptures / Michael's sculptures are fabricated with a conceptual emphasis based on playful metaphors and puns. Joy is one of the few sculptors who uses a modern, durable composite (appropriated from the architectural restoration industry) to cast his finished sculptures. With this process, Michael is able to transform common objects and textures that would otherwise be too fragile or unusable as permanent works of art.
