The Cowboy Boot

Artist: Lisa Zinna
Medium: Multimedia, resin overlay 
Dimensions: 12 x 12 x 1.5 in 
 
This unique art piece showcases a cowboy boot outline created entirely from alphabet pasta pieces painted metallic silver, with the letters spelling out various boot styles like "ROPER," "WESTERN," and "STOCKMAN" as they trace the iconic shape. 
 
The entire piece is coated in warm brown-tinted resin. The contrast between the industrial shine of metallic pasta and the organic warmth of tinted resin creates a striking visual tension. It's a playful yet sophisticated celebration of Western Americana that fuses folk-art sensibility with unconventional materials.
