Last spring I experimented with an image inspired by a photograph of my cousin Andrew Irvin. Andrew is the concert Master for the Arkansas Symphony. This fall I am starting a life size sculpture from the drawing. Actually they are monotypes. I will redrew them so that the violinist will not be a lefty.

Presently the sculpture I am planning will be out of white concrete, rebar and wire holding pieces of this found object violin. The first step is to paint the violin white.
