Hi Jason,
I saw your sculpture yesterday, and it was like when you see someone and say what a weirdo. You meet that someone, get to know him and become best friends! That`s what happened to me when I came back to your sculpture today. The more I see it the more I like it now. The viewer actitude plays a vital role as to how a work is perceived.The finish you give it may enhance your message, or not. All this is very subjective, right? In my view,the first two options that come to mind are: a) all rusty finish and b) all rusty except the two curved portions which could be ground shiny with a lacquer protection.Within this second option, I`d leave the top (head???) rusty too. Nevertheless, as you try different ways, you`ll find the one that fits you best, regardless of what we might have suggested. Please post once you finish. Nelson.
