ABOUT THE ARTWORK
“ A tight sweater & legs in 2 different time zones “ This piece is based of one moment in my life many many years ago. Its probably one of the pieces that is much more direct in its meaning in some ways.. but for you to know the meaning you must transport yourself back to the early 90’s. I ran a stage show which I performed in in a nightclub, which was performance art . It was the first art project to a degree in my life that “ took “ so to speak. I had been running my show for about 4 months and it did really well. This piece is based off this: I had just gotten off stage and was making the 40 foot journey to the bar to grab a drink when I noticed a young woman standing by the railing of the raised area next to the bar . I had never seen a woman so striking in real life . She was like something from a magazine. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her and thought to myself “ is she staring back at me ? “ You have to picture her ,, she was wearing black latex hose and garter belt with a micro mini skirt also black latex, opera length latex gloves and a tight pink fuzzy half sweater. She was also wearing 7 inch heels and was tall by design already. She had a white blonde angled bob, with chiseled features and ghostly light blue eyes accentuated by goth make up ( it was the 90’s ) . As i got closer to the bar she made her way to the stairs ,, as I got even closer she came down the stairs. I realized at that point she was heading towards me . I continued towards the bar but she met me right in front of it. I am 6 foot but she was taller than me in those heels ,,, and I really liked it. She simply said “ can I buy you a drink ?” This moment was the first time in my life that I ever felt almost a blush . I had always been the aggressive one when it came to meeting young ladies in the past ,, and to have this almost fantasy type girl approach me was actually the first time a woman had . I will never forget that moment .

Hello, my name is Scott Wilkes a.k.a Ironheart. I am not going to have a stuffy bio, I’m going to just tell it like it is. I reside in the wonderful City of austin Tx and although a transplant I have been here since 1988. I think My artistic nature started pretty early in life, even before I started school. I was known for taking my toys and taking a hammer to them and then taking the parts and gluing them back together in new forms. It didn’t please my parents but when I started in on the neighbor kids toys that came to an end. After that I was more fond of old cardboard boxes and styrofoam packing materials.. Some shears , some duct tape, elmers glue.. and I would make all sorts of things. But those don’t hold up well. Through the years I did all sorts of things and never really thought of as it was art but in retrospect I guess in a way it was all a learning process that lead to my Art. It wasn’t until high school that I took an actual art class from a wonderful teacher. I wish I could remember That teachers name. She was pivotal to my world and introduced me to DALI , ESCHER , H.R GIGER. Later I found OLIVIA, SORAYAMA , VARGAS , NAGEL . They are all major influences. There are many more but they are the ones who stand out the most. This will lead into my education as far as art.. I didn’t get more than a couple years of actual teaching ,,, but what I did get, I think was substantial. And I took it from there. It did take 20 more years .. But I’m ok with that. I made a career out of welding which in a way is an art form itself which takes many years to truly master. After 20 years of it is when I began to sculpt for I finally felt confident with the medium along with having a life change that flooded me with emotions that I had to express in some sort of constructive fashion. I truly enjoy taking a medium which in so many ways is usually considered cold, hard, rigid and rough and making something which conveys softness, warmth, movement and flow. I also would like to say a special thank you to R.S.S and more specifically to Don White for the use of the hydraulic shear to cut all the pieces and his confidence in my artwork. He was the toughest boss I ever had, but helped shape me in to the man I am today... thanks Captain Cowboy !
