Sparrow is an elegant modern and minimalist contemporary wall sculpture. It is
constructed with birch panels, acrylic and latex washes with a satin lacquer clear coat
finish. It is completed with a gray MDF backer. The paint washes allow some of the
wood grain to show through the paint and creates an almost marble-like appearance as the warm brown wood grain shows through the gradient white tones. Sparrow is a piece that focuses on the movement of the composition, balance, and form by using this limited
color palette. As with all my work, the piece straddles line between mid century
modernism and retro futurism. The finish is slightly distressed which adds the feeling of
age to the piece. The name was inspired by the sparrows that frequent my backyard in the summer. I am inspired by the overly graphic look and lines of these birds, as if they were seemingly designed by a human hand.
