Description
Title & Artist: "Cod-toon" – by Rachel Branham
Medium & Size: Mixed media on wood. 24" L x 9 1/8" H x 3/4" D. For indoor display only.
Artist Statement: This collaged sculpture is a playful pun—by using comics and cartoons to create the design, the cod becomes a cod-toon (get it??). Although abstracted, the original illustrations are still an important component of the sculpture, and they should be seen as a tribute to the artists represented: Charles Schultz, R. Crumb, Daniel Clowes, and Bill Watterson.
Artist Biography: Rachel Branham is a visual arts teacher at Marblehead High School. She specializes in illustrated text and two-dimensional work, and is in the process of publishing her first graphic novel through Teachers College Press. She also enjoys embroidery, sewing, printmaking, and video art.
Hosting Business: "Cod-toon" is on display at Spirit of ’76 Bookstore, 107 Pleasant St., Marblehead, MA.
