The other shoe is battered and rusted, some pins have fallen off. The title is Happily Ever After, adding to the idea that marriage is not all it's made out to be.

Drawing pin shoe sculptures
This post shows a pair of shoe sculptures that I made in the late 90s, and which I first showed in the Touch show at PCL Exhibitionists in 1999. It was a pair of shoes painted gold and covered with drawing pins, then covered in polyester resin. The first shoe is pristine, with the pins shining gold, neat and clean. The title is Whoever Fits This Shoe Will Be My Bride, an obvious reference to Cinderella, but with the suggestion of darkness behind the perfect marriage.
The other shoe is battered and rusted, some pins have fallen off. The title is Happily Ever After, adding to the idea that marriage is not all it's made out to be.
