Goonie-bird Totem

Always drawn to mixed materials, here I’ve created a combination of cement and iron. The top part was created when I acquired two rocker arms with springs attached from an old automobile. The two separate pieces welded together suggested a strange looking bird. Using a metal clamp, I welded it in place to create a beak. The iron projections under the “sun” shape, at one time was the structure that supported a very old school desk with a folding seat.
