Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted January 26, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2012 To fully appreciate the amazing wonder of this art you have to understand the incredibly involved and time consuming process of creating it. The artist takes hundreds of hours to create theses pieces, through dozens of steps of molding baking, layering, sanding, carving, assembling, etc. The pieces are not painted. Each color is the blended polymer clay that is the material of the piece. Polymer Clay Polymer clay is probably better known by the name of the brand name Sculpey. It is the colorful arts and crafts sculptable material that is a favorite of school art projects. The reason I post it here is that it started with a thought, an idea, a very original idea to take an ordinary medium and transform it into a most extraordinary art form. In a visual medium it demonstrates the truly limitless possibilities of creating something profoundly new under the sun. I have faith and confidence that just as surely as this very talented artist takes ordinary materials and tools to create things never before seen or imagined except as they originate from his God given brain, a person can take new ideas and thoughts and put them into words never before heard or read.

Members phkrause Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Jeff always had talent. except when it came to the Red Sox, LOL I worked with him at Atlantic Union College Press back in the mid '70s.

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted January 26, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have had the privilege of watching this artist develop this art form from his earliest experiments in sculpting to the objects of truly unique rare beauty that you see in the video. If you google his name you will likely find pictures of his art on exhibit at a growing number of galleries and museums. He is an award winning artist and an especially ground breaking artist in polymer clay. And he a much sought after instructor in the is art form having conducted workshops around the country and in Europe. Jeff is my good friend and long time bicycling buddy, the other charter member of what we refer to as Team Gravity. (Name comes from the atypical cycling quality of the gravity induced speed our extra mass produces going downhill.) Its two old fat guys going downhill fast! His creative genius in the arts inspires me to believe that the mind has limitless creative possibilities. Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good."

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted January 26, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2012 I should have realized you would have known him from those South Lancaster days.

Members phkrause Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ask him if he remembers me? Unless he's not the same Jeff Dever that used to work as a linotype operator while going to AUC.

Administrators Tom Wetmore Posted January 26, 2012 Author Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2012 He is from South Lancaster and think I recall him telling me once of working at the Press. I will definitely ask him if he remembers you. Quote "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal."

Members phkrause Posted January 26, 2012 Members Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks, say hi for me. Does he also go to your church? If he does you now know two people that I knew that lived in Lancaster. Pastor Morrison and Jeff. Small world indeed. :) Quote phkrause By the decree enforcing the institution of the papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness.
