An Ethos of Industrious Neurosis

by David Brody, ArtCritical.com
David Brody, in a wonderful article, writes "Wiener's exploratory, morph-or-die universe is the reverse of our inertial one: objects never remain at rest."

Materials

Apoxie Sculpt

Apoxie-Sculpt is a self-hardening clay manufactured by Aves Studios.

Polytek - Liquid Mold Rubber

I use Polytek 74-30 for poured rubber molds and Polygel 40 or 50 for brush-on molds.

Aqua-Resin

Aqua-Resin (created by an artist) is an easy to use, opaque, non-toxic composite fabricating resin. It is usually used as a casting material but I use it direct, either brushing it or pouring it over a form.

Pilchuck

All the glass seen in my sculptures was produced at Pilchuck Glass School over several weeks during an artist-in-residency. Pilchuck, generously, asks artists to their campus to explore what glass can do. It was a tremendous and productive experience.
