The support is a hand made painted canvased panel combined with materials from a thrift store in Costa Rica. What was amazing is that Metatron’s body is made from two street hockey nets originally from North America. The hockey figures were painted intuitively with acrylic paint and reconfigured to make one figure. The backing and wings of the figure is made from a canopy also from North America. Metatron’s halo is made from left over material from my studio. He is stuffed with pillow stuffing. It is interesting that my intuitive process of taking materials and letting them speak to me and creating in the only way I know how created such a meaningful subject.
