 I found some more great photos today of Arthur Kdav's work.  Here is a picture of him standing next to one of his finished iron pieces.  His coffee cup and pot always with him while he worked.  I just love the image.   His work .... really ... I wish I could see all his pieces in person.

 Today I started to go through some of Arthur Kdav (Keith Davis') slides of his artwork.  While these are not the most awesome photographs of the projected image on my yellowish walls - I still wanted to share some of them. Arthur Kdav standing in front of one of his sculptural wall pieces I am still working on finding the title for this piece - I wish I knew where it was because I really love it!  If you are the owner or know the owner please send me a comment.  Would love to get an updated listing regarding where it is located. Arthur Kdav (Keith Lowden Davis) working at his sewing machine making his unique and amazing canvas shapes to be strung later on his hand made and designed sculptural iron frames. Examples above and below of his completed canvases prior to stretching them over the iron. AND ... this one.  I don't recall ever seeing it.  What stands out is the lacing work he includes on the front of the piece.  I believe it is two female forms in an acrobatic back flip

  This piece was shown 30 years ago in Chicago at the Mary Bell Galleries.  It looks amazing today!  We have the drawings he did when he was designing the frame for this one.  Wonderful sketches of dancers to create this iron piece.
