We recently visited the
Marianist Art Gallery on Vianney High School's campus. I hadn't been there since 1973 when I purchased this:
It was an old military shell casing.
The artist was Brother Mel Meyer
Brother Mel is still producing beautiful sculptures which I can't really afford any more.
He was very gracious in greeting our group and showing us his studio.
A lot of his work is of a religion nature (he belongs to the Marianist Order).
Most of his work is from "found objects" AKA "junk".
But some of it is just beautiful creativity.
As we were leaving, I was drawn to this outside:
I got close enough to read an inscription:
"Claim life from the grasp of death"
