Unequal parts Scholar's rock and Willy Wonka Everlasting Gobstopper, these sculptures began as studio castaways. Originally hacked from other sculptures in pursuit of perfection, they established themselves interesting enough to be saved and become contemplations in form, texture, and color. Including them in this Petite Galerie is a nice chance to imagine them at an entirely different scale (bigger!).
