“I have always been a collector of odd bits of cast off objects and ephemera. I can see the beauty in a rusted piece of metal I might find while walking my dogs or a thread bare fabric from a vintage quilt inherited from my grandmother. These cast off objects have a history and patina that deserves to be resurrected. My Odd Fellows Collection is a cast of whimsical and quirky characters loaded with attitude and personality. Each piece is cut from wood and carefully prepared with multiple layers of paint and finished off with random vintage found objects. These odd creations are certain to bring a smile to your face.” Darrell Ezekiel is a mixed media artist living in Birmingham with his three dogs, Simon, Winnie and Otis.
