The USO Story:
USO is a fusion of Grey Alien pop culture art and Samoan Cultural design. USO stands for "Unidentified Samoan Object"... but it also translates into English as "Brother". So you could consider the name to mean Brother Alien.
The USO features the head of the classic Grey Alien decorated with Alien, Samoan and Floral motifs. The colouring is psychedelic coloring on a stained wood background and framed inside a simple circle.
USO (Samoan for 'Brother')
USO is a Samoan word that means brother. The term is gender specific, which means it can be used amongst men and women but never between men and women. Men can call each other USO but Men cannot call women USO. Women can call each other USO but women cannot call men USO.
The Alien
The four-feet tall, grey colored, bug-eyed creatures have emerged as an archetypal image of an intelligent non-human creature and extraterrestrial life in general, as well as an iconic trope of popular culture over the years, from conspiracy theories to appearances in art, movies and much more.
Creating the USO
I created the USO design in Auckland, starting with a digital illustration, then bringing the illustration into my CNC Program where I design the cutting paths. From the paths I generate the g-code or CNC cutting code ready for the carving process. The material is loaded on the CNC machine and the piece is carved in around an hour. The carved art piece is then inspected, sanded, coloured, varnished and finally a hanging wire installed.
As you can see to create this sculpted piece there are many processes involved making it a truly special and bespoke item.
Packaging:
The item will be packaged with bubble wrapping inside a cardboard outer box.
Delivery:
The item will be couriered to your chosen destination. Courier and Shipping times TBC
