Maleficent (2014)
BEASTS
Steel Pond Studios | Portland, Oregon-based steel sculptor Robert Jefferson Travis Pond - Half of what I do is collecting materials. For me, the question is never where to start; it is always when to stop. It is a constant look beyond the object, beyond the form, to what is next. Each circumstance, or in this case, each piece, spontaneously connects to the next. This seemingly random assortment of metal dictates its future in a very fast and spontaneous manner. The sculpture decides for itself what it will look like and when it is complete.
Last year, I saw a time-lapse video of Travis Pond making a large-scale dragon. (A bonus: The video soundtrack’s a live Mile Davis performance.) Fun to watch, even if you look at only a little bit of it. Video’s here.
Audrey Kawasaki’s solo show, Midnight Reverie, opens September 8th at Jonathan LeVine Gallery in New York, New York.

David Bowie’s crotch bulge from The Labyrinth.
I think I remember reading somewhere that he had to be fitted for a special little holster to keep his pistol in place instead of it squirming all over the place as he moves during filming.
I have no source, so this could very well be made up lol.
That actually sounds very likely, seeing as how it’s ridiculous to even think that mere fabric can contain him.
