Description
Polymer clay, app. 13 inches tall (including base).The title is actually NeukΓΆln, but apparently the ΓΆ problemental.
Good photos are elusive creatures.
All the while I was making this a particular piece of music was ebbing and flowing inside my head [link]
Sons of the silent age
Make love only once, but dream and dream... (Bowie)
Thanks for looking

the creature and the song, it really feels they are united.

Love it! Mythical and machine-like at the same time!

Very ... robotic. Meaning, I love it! Also, you did a really nice job of coloring it, I never would've guessed it was clay if you didn't say so.

There should be a photo of me taking these photos - so unglamourously sprawled out in the gravel

I'd frame it and hang it in my kitchen.

I think it would be very utilitarian (ie a banana rack)

I'd have it printed on various merchandise. The bottom of my tea mug, for example.

Just a great looking sculpt, with the ghost caught clearly in the machine...
(I've always wished there had been more written about the time Bowie and Eno spent recording the "Berlin trilogy" of Low, Lodger, and Heroes-- I rarely play one without having to follow through with the other two...)

About 10 years ago I picked up a book (that Barnes & Noble had discounted) called "The David Bowie Companion", which gathers together a number of different articles by different authors. Featured are several dealing with the Berlin Trilogy. Interesting to learn that Lodger was initially indended to follow the vocal side/instrumental side formula, but the Bowie - Eno thing had begun to break down.....
A pity

Still, three fairly monumental slices of vinyl-- they surely don't make em like they used to...

But then, that's why we were smart enough to keep our vinyl clean, and our turntables in fighting trim...

The first thing I thought when I saw this was how much I loved the blue marbled-ish background brings the character to life... An orgainic musical machine-being living in a world of royal blue/violet skies of wispy, foggy clouds.
Great job making it look like bronze. I definitely thought it was until I read your description.
Also, I really like the photographs. They make a great dyptic. The shadows are really neat.

It does move... if I move it

That's awesome. Are you sure it's not really a cast bronze?

Pretty sure. Before I painted it, it was every colour of the rainbow - none of them bronze

actually pictures of the shadows would be art photography
