"Cosmofilial" and "Ort"

Here is the finished product for this year's Sculpture Space CHAIRity auction. Sometimes people ask how I come up with titles for pieces. Of course, there are varied inspirations; from puns, to descriptions, to "mini-stories". The title for this piece was inspired by the title of the original engraving "Filial Affection - Going to Church/Sunday Morning". The title of the skull-headed fly piece was "somewhat random" (of course, nothing is ever random or somewhat random, is it?). "Ort" just seemed like a weird enough small title for the piece. I suppose you could think of this two-headed fly as looking at the broken skull as a source of food two (and it hints to the scavengerious nature of flies... "cannibalism"?).

  1. Titles are always of interest to me. They usually give an insight into the meaning or origins of the piece.
