"THE GOLDEN DRILLER"
Photography by TJW - Mixed Media - Artist Book

 

 

 

In the same vein of "Oh, Tulsa" exhibit, and for this book, I shot some pictures of the iconic free-standing statue "The Golden Driller" for presentation in book form.  All photos were manipulated with a strong blue and intense gold (though appearing orange) to highlight the details of the statue.  Vitals of the structure were provided in calligraphy on the last page.  This book opens to stand as a sculpture in and of itself, with the cover showing the silhouette of the Driller's head.  The inside cover is heavy gauge aluminum, with the title stamped in with vintage metal type.  Dimensions are 10" x 5" closed.
