GERRY STECCA

Humanoids (2026). These ladies (more will make their debut soon) resulted from collecting wood from our backyard, consisting of one or more of the following: Water Oak, Live Oak, Azalea and Crepe Myrtle wood plus a few rusty nails.

Wondering if this is still on display? Installed for the former James Royal Resort in South Beach during their 2012 renovation. It changed names in 2015 to Royal Palm hotel. I can’t find images of the making and installation day. That drives me crazy!.

These recent Humanoids combine collected natural materials with my recent Angiosperms works using clothespins. It was fitting to photograph this first sculpture in a favorite location near where most materials were found.
