Artist Wheel of Fortune
The work that you are viewing here are primarily constructed of thousands of crayons. I've never been quite satisfied with creating a sculpture and then adding a patina, or stain, or color. I want to see the form. I'm always a little surprised by the form these sculptures take, and the color is the form.

Thanks for the praise. Actually I'm in the process of reinventing myself right now. All the stuff you see here is new and unfortunately is all I have really, although I do have some more work I want to put here possibly so keep looking.

Again, Thanks a million,
G.
