Jousting Helm

by Greg Manchess

Like so many others, I’ve been inspired by Met’s armor collection. The horses, the pennants, the helmets — it’s impossible not to fall in love with the pageantry. I was luckily enough to live in walking distance of the Met and that lead to a fascination with helmets of all kinds. They allow me to express the abstractions in reflected light while capturing the minute details of their structure. They fascinate me.
