This sculpture was a collaboration with Aldo Moroni and the start of a long-term friendship.
This piece was exhibited in the Minnesota Museum of Art in St Paul in 1982. It was my first professional exhibition.
The structure was made of wood and painted with brown wax. The land masses are made of tar paper and stapled onto the wood structure. Over the tar paper we brushed on hot wax and slowly built up the surfaces with wax infused with pigments.
Once the land masses were establish, Aldo and I went to opposite sides of the globe and continued to form evidence of life in the form of miniature towns. Wars broke out between our burgeoning civilizations.
We recorded the history of our fictitious world. I do have a copy of this somewhere and hope to include it on this page. It was also publish in an issue of The Milkweed Chronicles.
