- Polystyrene and epoxy hard coat
The Idea
A boot large enough to stand in a room the way a monument stands in a town. Not a prop. An object with weight, wrinkles, and hardware — a Western form pushed past costume into sculpture.
The Build
Built at monumental scale, then airbrushed until the surface read as worn leather: cognac hide, dark creases, black soles, spur straps, silver buckles. The pair was finished in the studio, spur to stitch.
The Result
A pair that holds a space. The boots stay the same. Only the country around them changes.
