JOHN & ROBIN GUMAELIUS

John and Robin Gumaelius collaborate to create articulated human and bird-like sculptures that are often comical and uncanny. Combining ceramics, steel, and wood, each piece begins with a character form on which Robin creates intricate carved and painted surface imagery. John contributes the metal armatures and wood appendages to animate the form. With elements of children's stories, religious icons, reliquaries, and medieval and renaissance history, John and Robin combine both craftsmanship and imagination to build a singularly unusual world out of their materials.
