Bakers Steak
2015

A surreal artwork featuring a central object resembling a brass candlestick telephone with four circular elements where the receiver would be. Two yellow crocus flowers emerge from the top and bottom of the composition, adding a natural element to the otherwise mechanical depiction. The background is a flat olive green, and the entire image has a glossy, polished finish.
