Miss Electra

 I’ve been messing around in the studio while Richard and I are isolating.  I made this quirky miss “Electra” creature using bits of electrical junk I have around.  Her body is an electrical box, lots of wire, the odd pieces of metal I got from who knows where.   A thick tree twig I found on a morning walk.  I made her a tool apron using a vintage cloth measuring tape.  The legs are vintage hinged carpenter ruler that had belonged to my father and electrical tape. The neck is part of a thread spool from an industrial weaving machine.  Every step was a challenge because I didn't really know where this piece was heading. I'm really happy with how she turned out.

She actually is meant to sit on a shelf - legs would never support her weight
