this is the second piece I planned to exhibit for Near Wild Heaven. it is a matching pair of bronze cast bolo ties with teeth at their center. the tooth of the left bolo tie is a premolar with a chipped root and the one on the right is a molar with 3 roots. they are both fully functional pieces of jewelry and are hung on furniture pins. they are intended to be worn separately but evidently match.
this piece is called "Driving to See You" and I cast them over a year ago and finished them for the exhibition. how ironic! they were a labor of love also lost to the postal ether. i will be overjoyed to wear mine (molar) once it is located, lol.
no image description because i basically described them, but I will note that bronze is much closer to a dim gold than a dirty copper, as many seem to imagine it. and that they both have a decorative round edge.
