DER MENSCH ALS INDUSTRIEPALAST  1926

I had the pleasure this Friday of meeting up with many fine sculptors (all members of AKA) at Benjamin Cowden’s exhibition at Float Gallery in Oakland.

From left to right: Aaron Ristau, CTP, Jeremy Mayer, Benjamin Cowden, Nemo Gould (myself).

I helped Jeremy Mayer move to his new studio yesterday. This image represents probably half of his typewriter collection.

Met Tom on Monday, then Nemo and Jeremy Thursday, Benjamin and Christopher Friday… WOW what a week

Thanks fellas be back ASAP

I’m moving into a new space in W. Oakland. A new studio is a rare and wonderful opportunity to start all over with eagerness to work, refined organization, and a total lack of clutter, which, as you may be able to imagine, I have problems with sometimes. I’ll be posting more once I’m moved in and settled.

I set up what’s left of my work at Nemo Gould’s showroom today to show it to a collector who’s rolling through town this weekend. 

Check out Nemo’s Tumblr page to see the very cool stuff he’s been making lately.

Jeremy Mayer brought some of his work over to my studio today. We set up my show-room for a collector who is coming through town.

Jeremy Mayer came by my studio yesterday to photograph his deer sculpture (the one on the left). We decided to do a group portrait with one of mine as well.

From the Royal Academy of Art Magazine, the article “In Search of Wild Things”, written by Richard Cork:

“Epstein may first have decided to make this immensely daring tour de force while watching men and machines cutting stone in a quarry. He later recalled: ‘My ardour for machinery (short-lived) expended itself upon the purchase of an actual drill, second-hand, and upon this I made and mounted a machine-like robot, visored, menacing, and carrying within itself its progeny, protectively ensconced. Here is the armed, sinister figure of today and tomorrow.’”
