Michael entitled the original of this piece "Waste:- Luxury of the Rich; Folly of the Poor"
The exhibition piece has hand turned legs in an antique
style, the top has a moulded thumb nail edge.
The "Bottle of Dom" is turned from laminated silver ash.
It was then stained bottle green to match as closely as possible
the real bottle; the label and foil coloured black.
The "champagne" (comprising three pieces), spilling down the leg and onto the floor
is routed and glued into the top, glued to the face of the leg, and fitted around the
base of the leg.
This piece can be removed for shipping and storage purposes.
Michael entered this piece in the Tweed Valley Art Prize at the Tweed
Regional Gallery in 1994. It won a Major Award of $400 and the Major Acquisition
Award of $2,000. .....and is now part of the Gallery's Collection.
