Datzuk Moving On AtlantinTropic

The project at the top of my list, The AtlantinTropic Vision, is the direct application of my pen and ink work as base material for large-scale sculptures.  In the next few months I will be revisiting old pen and ink pieces looking for elements that can be built on for further three-dimensional application.

Using industrial materials such as scrap steel, cold rolled steel, and steel reinforced concrete; the pieces will tie together organic forms with materials that deteriorate over time thus representing an organic form of decay.  For example, as live flowers wilt so would the sculpture of a flower, after all, decay at a slower rate of speed is still decay.  Applying a megalithic concept of the passing of a culture, using giant steel and concrete flowers rusting and slowly drooping into the earth symbolizing the passing of a culture's time and place.
