So I got sidetracked and started on a large self-portrait made entirely of bottle caps. The piece measures 8 feet by 7 feet. No paint is used, except to delineate a few shadows where white board was showing through. In a few cases, the caps are trimmed in order to fit a tight space."</span> - Mary Ellen Croteau<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaIodYHydIPuocYoOMmpYv407_EzJZ76vU0wZCNgE0WsQyasgUd8auOcmdA-zfRoO1jU7yGVVj892lOxvdqKrVka4XZh2se3iXbRJeKKx-anME_R7elDBG-q8bikU3K9TH2UMUX6XARb6R/s1600/MEC+bottle+caps1.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5654562316403041266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaIodYHydIPuocYoOMmpYv407_EzJZ76vU0wZCNgE0WsQyasgUd8auOcmdA-zfRoO1jU7yGVVj892lOxvdqKrVka4XZh2se3iXbRJeKKx-anME_R7elDBG-q8bikU3K9TH2UMUX6XARb6R/s400/MEC+bottle+caps1.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;

An accomplished sculptor in a wide variety of media from bronze to clay to assemblage, Farrow generally adopts the language of an historical period in his work, updating the imagery or materials to make cogent observations about contemporary society. Past projects have included bowls created in the style of the Mimbres culture, an indigenous people who lived in what is now the southwest and northern Mexico, and painted in their traditional single reed brush style with images of B-1 bombers, radiation symbols, tanks and other military images.<br /><br /><br /><br />In recent years he has used munitions—bullets, guns, hand grenades, bombs—to make three-dimensional projects that resemble Christian reliquaries, Islamic mosques and a Jewish menorah (shown below):<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguiihuGkC7Yxi_1X1dVIhIiXPv-8Tatpk5r8RY6dafdu35LvFblq6P80J8jZT7cF_GFMc0lYhC-XED5ovuxMpYiirpXR4BJREjSgOubPH_hHxb0FBvSK2PO-hYe2aD-4dWq9YDF0UtiDxg/s1600/Picture+52.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5645730534553071394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguiihuGkC7Yxi_1X1dVIhIiXPv-8Tatpk5r8RY6dafdu35LvFblq6P80J8jZT7cF_GFMc0lYhC-XED5ovuxMpYiirpXR4BJREjSgOubPH_hHxb0FBvSK2PO-hYe2aD-4dWq9YDF0UtiDxg/s400/Picture+52.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 525px; height: 522px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHKQ6yJ58sd9eyr0wNJN7FRaiEk6hSS2NgRVBn_9wgMsxacvqPjrXK__q9wGhqn4KK2JogrYvaFK_PMsfW_R_hR_isqjYE24rrdevGrTzp4vUoQn3JCnW9eBZLzp1_B6rBXRYFFiBMttcB/s1600/Picture+53.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5645730441983646418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHKQ6yJ58sd9eyr0wNJN7FRaiEk6hSS2NgRVBn_9wgMsxacvqPjrXK__q9wGhqn4KK2JogrYvaFK_PMsfW_R_hR_isqjYE24rrdevGrTzp4vUoQn3JCnW9eBZLzp1_B6rBXRYFFiBMttcB/s400/Picture+53.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 586px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Al Farrow’s work is included in the public collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the San Jose Museum of Art, 21c Museum (Louisville, Kentucky), All Saints Episcopal Church (Pasadena, California), and the Government of the State of Israel.
