Don't kill the goose! Sculpture by Maidy Morhous

Sculpture: Bronze on Bronze.

bronze sculptures that examine the reintroduction of identifiable imagery as a critical or ironic comment on traditional fine art values. A celebration of common day objects while seeking to elevate popular culture to the level of fine art. The concept that there is no hierarchy of culture and that art may borrow from any source is presented “coolly” ambivalent.
Titles play an important role in setting the stage for the viewer: “Doctors Orders!” a bronze floating tube of tooth paste spilling in ribbons connected to a highly polished apple. “Elixir of Life” bronze red lips pursed around a straw in a beverage container, or “Don’t kill the goose!” a crème patina bronze egg carton with one highly polished bronze (golden) egg.
