The rough construction of Geisha #2 is now complete. Over the next several days the joints will disappear… sort of. I’ll be working on it as a sculptor and using knives, rasps and abrasives to blend the separate parts as much as possible. At this stage no matter what I do there will be cracks, [...]

After working on three of the new pieces the process of constructing the wall sculpture has become more familiar. It doesn’t speed up mind you because I still have to figure out each element as it goes together but now I know how to do it . The sketch I made for this piece was [...]

Until now I have been showing the growth pattern of the 3D series on my Studio Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/edjaffegallery For those of you new my work I’ll try to do some catch up . My paintings have always had a geometric look. As a sculptor I have also used a great deal of texture on [...]
