Bill Skrips
Reconstructions from a deconstructed lot of; cloth, rusty bits, spindles, spools and old tools. Skrips makes standing and wall sculptures that are quirky, quixotic, ironic, often deeply mysterious. Just who are these disposed kings with their rusty crowns askew on their tilted heads? Skrips skripts a plethora of feisty dogs, gazing ravens, sailors aft and daft, some on stands for table top – some for the walls indoors or out. Abstract and bio-morphic forms along with giant full-faced portraits of Scrips is always surprising us with what he makes - evocative sculptures of unknown histories; scraps pivoted to profundity.
