Description
Artist's note: "Eddy's Brother" was inspired by a former Scottish pro, whose brother, Eddy Straighton, was a close family friend of mine." "Eddy invited us to Scotland...to play those famous links (Turnberry) just 3 weeks before the Open took place." "As a tribute to his brother, and in abject gratitude to Eddy, I did the piece with the idea that golf gives golfers continuity, a perpetual love of the game and its similar course to life...through his swing, as a portrayal of motion."
Welded steel road and steel plate base on rustic wood base. 25 inches high, 30 inches wide, 12 inches long, 35 lbs. February 2005.
