In recent years I have been making spontaneous Janis inflatable set ups wherever able. I was doing a set up in Mexico where I met a couple from Israel who were very interested in the piece on display. We agreed to meet over dinner and at this dinner we worked out a concept. We started with an inflatable as a sculpture and went through all the plus and minuses of every type of material I work with. We ended with bronze. They wanted The Friends of Israel Defense League logo worked into the piece. After months of work at the foundry and Covid delays, today we delivered Janis in Bronze with a Yamaoka bearing the logo. Some things start simple, the end can take a lot of time and effort.  Bronze is a forever medium.
