Sculpture of Crucifixion

Harkrader's sculpture, 'Crucifixion', is mounted to copper tubing wrapped with copper wire which then terminates on one end of each palm of the Christ. The copper tubes are mounted onto the face of a stainless steel automotive transmission 'brain plate'. The Christ has been tinted with a bronzing effect and adorned with a loin cloth of cotton secured with fiber and wire that is embellished with beading. Cadmium red was applied to the palms for blood

Zodiac Queen & The Magical Silver Spoon

Sculpture anyone? Harkrader's 'Zodiac Queen' with delicate feather wings stands tall on her throne of wooden bowl, porcelain knob, metal ring, silver spoon, blue glass, glass eye and surrounded by a halo composition from an antique pastry cutter. Lion is a symbol of constellation, sign of zodiac, symbol of sun gods, Bali funeral sarcophagus and a core in Babylonian artwork. Venice, Italy is known as the “City of Lions”. Lions were used for thousands of years in mostly religious contexts of Christianity, Celtic, and Gospel of Mark. Winged lions may represent the Divine (angels) and denote strength, aggression, and power. Harkrader experimented with multiple composition possibilities before assembling this found object sculpture. (10"x6"x6")
