Trapped by the Intimacy Factor

Rhino Head

I started with chicken wire mesh and formed the Rhino head.

The next thing I did is use screen wire and stitched it on using silver floral wire.  I covered that with Elmer's wood putty.  Finally I painted it first with gesso, then acrylic paint.

Tree Climbing Child

The parent is watching, but not preventing the child from climbing the tree.  For me, this is positive, trusting, and a depiction of good parenting.  You're there to help, but you allow the child to take some risks, explore, to have his or her own successes.
