Zippy
2020
Deerskin, fiberglass, zipper. 18in x 9in x 9in.
Zippy was shown as part of the SEAF2020 at Gallery Erato, Seattle (WA) in 2020.
Zippy is one of the I’MPERFECT series of sculptures. I’MPERFECT continues the conceptual story arc established in uckiood’s previous Odd Jelly Out sculpture series. OJO has now found his/her tribe of individuals, misfits and eccentrics. The imperfect have become perfect by virtue of their uniqueness and peculiarities - now is the time to take joyous ownership of one’s outsider status. Together the sculptures form a proud and distinctive group of characters that, through their tantalizing textures, shimmering light play and captivating palette, invite personal/emotional connection and physical/sensory experience.
