Artist: Trailer McQuilkin
Meadow Beauty
By Trailer McQuilkin
Located in New York, NY
The pictures you see here are not, as you might think, photographs of wildflowers. They are images of the remarkably lifelike, painstakingly detailed art of Trailer McQuilkin, whose wildflower sculptures are a blend of several artistic techniques. The product of this art form is unique; each sculpture is one of a kind, with its own individuality and its own beauty.
A native of New Orleans, McQuilkin has lived and worked in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, for the past 35 years. In 1969 the artist began experimenting with methods of creating metal wildflower sculpture. He soon found that imitating nature − which many have held is the chief function of art − is a difficult process. He steadily gained mastery of this new complex form and continues today to hone his skills, refine his materials and techniques while expanding his vision of the next sculpture.
McQuilkin uses sheet copper, copper wire, metal primer, oil paints, and natural materials in his work. His techniques include cutting, soldering, incising, and painting. Each step is performed with uncompromising attention to detail. Each sculpture has special challenges. It takes from two to five months to complete each piece. A careful examination of the finished sculpture reveals the tiniest fibers, the slightest discoloration and even an occasional insect-bitten leaf. His work is a completely original documentation of nature, trompe l’oeil art in the best sense.
McQuilkin, who is largely self-taught, has achieved the highest level of skill and artistry. Therefore he produces complex and beautiful microhabitats. His work has taken him from the North Pole Basin at Crested...

Bonehenge
By Luke O'Sullivan
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This original piece by Luke O'Sullivan is made from wood that the artist has silkscreen printed onto with his original drawings and patterns, which he then cut and assembled into a three-dimensional, wall-hanging sculpture with additional wire and copper details. The finished piece measures 40”h x 35”w x 11”d.
About the Artwork
O’Sullivan creates invented buildings, places, and objects describing unexplored worlds conjuring a sense of discovery and adventure. Rise and Shine represents a shift from the artist’s earlier work featuring structures, facades, and panoramic landscapes toward a more detailed approach. These new works depict encapsulated, floating environments devoid of humans. The sculptural objects are keepsakes or relics from these faraway places. Each piece plays with the shifting relationships between two and three dimensions, surface and underworld. O’Sullivan’s recent screen prints introduce color, imbuing these works with a certain levity and illustrative quality.
The playful nature of O’Sullivan’s work draws from Nintendo games, maps, science fiction movies, and movie set design. Likening his process to a lego set...
