New metal piece

This piece, "Post-Structuralist Dilemma #2", is a reprise of a piece I did in 2008 that happened to sell immediately. I've been wanting to work with the forms and structure of the first one because they are still of interest to me after a considerable time. It has a core of 1/2" MDF covered with steel and features details of brass and copper. An aluminum-covered board holds it all together, though most of that component is not seen. Size is 26" x 6" x 2". I wasn't sure if the steel was going to work out for this type of piece, so I started small, hence its modest size. I think I can use steel, building on this experience, to make some larger scale works.

Art Deco Pull Toy

Another pull toy is finished. This one's a 6" cube with art deco encrustations. I like the appearance of the rivet-less construction (although I like the rivets too), but one of the internal braces came loose while I was attaching the wheels, hence the two rivets on one side. So, the next one may feature really small screws to make it structurally sound. This piece, except for the wheels, is all aluminum.
