About this artwork
Propeller began with my purchase at a hardware store (I love hardware stores), of two pieces of metal pipe, one more bent than the other. This piece includes two wooden finials, a curtain rod holder, a pine cone, two metal gears, a vintage shoe stretcher, a toy propeller, a little birdhouse, a highway reflector, some bird carvings, several wooden spoons, a large metal screw, two clumps of feathers, a banana hanger, an animal skull (ground squirrel?),…
and a scary, skull-like head sculpture I found in a flea market. The head makes so strong an impact that I had been unable to include it in a previous sculpture. I have managed to use it in Propeller by tucking it away where it is somewhat hidden.

Dave Kwinter, originally a painter, now crafts evocative assemblage sculptures using primarily wood and metal, shifting to this medium in 2018. His technique weds careful collection of materials with a trial-and-error process, creating surreal, unrecognizable forms that speak of creativity and curiosity. Each masterful sculpture deepens the sense of mystery, inviting viewers to become enthralled by the intrigue and engaging unpredictability his work exudes.
