                 The Donut Project - 2018  
   New work on display every Third Friday at Gallery +  78th St. Studios  Cleveland  
            

I love donuts.  So it came as no surprise while sculpting the plate of donuts on the right that I tumbled to the idea that the hole-in-the-middle shape would be perfect to use as the matrix for every sculpture in my next series. And maybe the next group show, too.  Here's the scoop:
  • First, I sculpted these 5 Faux-nuts.  → 
  • Then, I scanned and 3D printed the pink one - 101 times!
  • Below is a the result. ↓ Every clay sculpture on this page uses one of these identical plastic donuts as it's matrix.

      Announcing a new collaboration:
Original Inner Tube Kid drawing (below) by artist, illustrator Angela Oster, who "creates criminally cute, odd and wonderful beings" was reproduced with permission as a sculpture for the Donut Project!   So cute!!  Thanks, Angela!

I like legs.  With Valentine's Day in the wings, it seemed appropriate to add a heart.

   Thanks to the wild pattern and neon colors, the donut is virtually invisible in this hanging fish which would look great in a doorway or window!

I enjoy the whiz-bang created when I use a pumpkin stem in unexpected places like this and in cupcakes.  It messes with your perceptions.  Not to mention that gorgeous hand painted glass eye.  Not shown: he grew big feet.

  Impossible to resist creating my own Minion.

Look at that glass eye...it's ocean blue and filled with the continents.  This work is strongly magnetic too and will catch those stray paper clips on your desk!

Collecting "bumper stickers" for the saucer was a world of fun!  I imagined little green men shopping in backwoods tourist traps and affixing local vacation stickers to their ride! :)

Seven glass eyes double as the ship's windows and a huge shooter marble tops its dome.
