Beauty, More Better

 A wall installation of about 40 naturally shed deer anters, their tips sharpened and gilded with Double Ducat Gold leaf. The graceful turning of the tines is beautiful, even in their abandoned, weathered state. But this beauty is not passive or easily embraced. The gilded points are dangerous even as they decorate and emphasize the movement and direction of the tines.

Dimensions variable, but approximately 24″ deep and 12 x 18′
