(A better detail photograph, then before, of the 'New Mexican Prayer Wheel', a batik cloth and found object sculpture hanging at my studio. And please come by Studio BR-549 and see this and other works, by myself and other artists, during the Spring Open Studio Tour on May 10th and 11th of this year. Unless the Wheel sells between now and then, it shall be hanging on a well lit wall at our studios at 549 N. 7th Avenue in Tucson, Arizona)

[Stu's Fun Facts: The Prayer Wheel was photographed in the hallway at Studio BR-549 in Tucson. No fancy lighting, just the Halogens that we have there, so there is some color-shift in the photographs that I tried to correct in Photoshop, but alas, I couldn't fix it all. If you would like see the piece in person, just give me a call. It is much better live than it is on tape. If you want to purchase it, one of my business managers suggests $1,250. By the way, the hubcap was found in the high desert, south of Carrizozo, New Mexico and the batik fabric is from Tucson. And this piece is dedicated to all those who pray on Bear Butte in South Dakota.]
