BLOG | David Booth MRSS Fine Artist |The Sculptors Eye : Using Multiples golf tees
Using golf tee multiples.
Here I have used golf tees to create organic shapes.
I chose to use golf tees to create a series of sculptures about being in the rough.
In golf:
- When your golf ball is in the rough you are in some form of trouble, the next decision you make is extremely important.
- You need to evaluate the lie in the rough properly otherwise you will ultimately compound your initial mistake.
- Your main goal should be to play the highest-percentage shot based on your lie, and return your ball back to safety.
The sculptures are a visual metaphor of recovering from mistakes.
Some interesting terms used to describe the lie of the ball when in the rough:
- The Buried Lie
- The In-Between Lie
- The Fluffy Lie

Other multiples I have sculpted with are:
45000 balloons, 100000 beer mats, teapot lids, fork handles, frame mounts.

For me flowers signify moments, special dates, treasured parts of your garden, times of the year, and even important people - all these things trigger memories. To suggest this I paint flowers fading in and out of detail just as our thoughts, creating elements on each canvas to discover and savour, using colour to allow the eyes to gently search the canvas at their own pace.
