The Moving Target

This piece makes a very moving statement! The title is”The Moving Target”. It’s about the fear of getting hurt in love. This woman on the knife thrower’s wheel has a target over her heart, which she’s trying to protect by constantly spinning. This piece does actually spin slowly with the help of a 12V motor that plugs into a regular wall outlet. There is an on/off switch in the cord. The overall size is 30″h x 40″w. The frame and backing are constructed of pine that has been polyurethaned several times before being coated with layers of acrylic paint. The knives are made of painted and aged metal. The woman is made from papier mache that is covered with old sheet music. The sheet music is from a number of different love songs. The ladies’ skirt is handprinted fabric layered over toile and tissue paper that spells out the word “hope.” The wheel she spins on is made of laminated wood.
