“This is a contemporary pop piece about light. Emojis are among the most ubiquitous forms of pop art in the world today. I used emoji faces from sad to enlightened. In black to white with purple as the main color. The fluorescent on the base of each box reflects light permanently. I’ve always considered it among my very best. It’s from my personal collection.”

I wanted to use the houndstooth design for a long time. When I did, the only color I could think of to compliment the black and white, was orange…which reminded me of Coco Chanel. I decided to use the color of putty on the edges and the fluorescent orange permanently glows. Like a slinky model wearing houndstooth….. sexy and sophisticated.

PEDESTALS
Since 1987….I’ve created more table pedestals in unique and original configurations than anything I have done. I enjoy them because they give me more instant gratification in they conclude much quicker than larger pieces. Also, they are small and beautiful and don’t take up much space…..like pieces of candy.
1987
In the following pages, you will see what I have available at this time. If you were to go to my website www.toddgray.com you can see many other examples of other pedestals I have done. Should you be interested in something I do not have available now, feel free to contact me.

“I had the idea to do this for many years. The design just seemed to lend itself to the movement of a slam dunk. I finally got it done and love the results. It incorporates everything I love...pop art, movement, light, color, beauty, balance and of course, basketball. ”

“ This piece was a one off. It was inspired by Lichensteins ‘entablatures’ series of prints. It was (and is) a purely abstract 3-D sculpture using three dimensional design elements like rods and globes.... I’ve always found this piece fun and intriguing with lots of potential for an entire series of work.”
