Folk Dancer Atop...  (Detail)
46 x 38 x 41 cm.
     Coppernail Sculptures are actually sculptures first carved out of wood and then covered and nailed in all over with copper nails.
     I first saw these materials in a hardware.  I was attracted to its beauty and texture but felt sad in that its only use was as nails for boats since they do not rust.
     I decided to experiment with these materials and came up with these artworks.
