Artist Statement: This piece was inspired by my desire to create realistic looking sculptures. I like to test the limits of the clay medium and to push the clay to create realistic textures and surfaces. I this case I thought the traditional leather cowboy boot would be interesting to re-create in clay. I also enjoyed using the jewelry saw to create an actual spinning spur for the piece.
