COMMISSIONS
if you would like to commission a sculpture i would be happy to create a unique work of art for you.
please feel free to contact me with your request for a proposal. while the process
involves a lot of back and forth communication, it would help if you would think
about and define a number of ideas first, to expedite matters.
- -theme-
think about the general theme, as opposed to the exact design, that you would like
to see. generally, this is not a problem as this is the major reason
to commission a piece.
- -space-
think about where it will be displayed. is it going to be a store front
window display, a wall hanging, a table top display or a permanent
installation? will it be tall and thin or short and flat? do you
want it to hang from the ceiling?
- -power-
will the sculpture have continuous access to line voltage? if hanging, do
you want to have a line cord running up to the ceiling and over to a wall
receptacle? if battery powered, how long will the sculpture be left on
and how often to you want to change the batteries. remember that
clocks by definition are generally left on.
- -noise-
all of my sculptures are, much like myself, loud and obnoxious, cacophonous and
irritating. it is not possible for me to create a quiet machine. please keep this in mind
when deciding to place a clock sculpture on your spouse's headboard.
- -budget-
this most often comes down to:
you: "What kind of sculpture can you make for
me"?
me: "How much monies ya
got?"
but seriously, folks, when asking for a proposal, it is
best to keep budgetary constraints in mind. just as an aside, because
i enjoy the creative process so much, i usually can do more for you per
dollar than one might expect.
i do not charge for proposals but keep in mind that time is my most valuable commodity so
therefore, within reason, i cannot guarantee when i can get back to you.
