The Cloaked Skateboarder
2011, Steel
The Cloaked Skateboarder, also known as Burka Board, was created out of steel. The sculpture depicts a simplified form of a female figure cloaked from head to toe, standing on top of a skateboard. She wears a mask that somewhat resembles that of a welder’s mask. The seams that can be seen throughout the piece are hints left behind by the artist, to show how the work was made. He began making metal armature for other sculptures and he found his love for the metal medium. The sculpture has been adopted by the city of Davis.
