I'm a sculptor and special effects designer in Chicago.
And this is some information about my art. (To see my special effects website, click on www.manbehindthecurtain.net . You can reach me through the "Contacts" page there. ) Thanks!
Martha as the Goddess of Industry
Most of my sculpture is based on life casts- molds taken directly from a model, then cast in Hydrocal. Form, texture and color are all important elements. The method I use allows incredible detail to be captured- a fine seam in fabric, goosebumps, every eyelash.
More recently, I've been telling stories with sculpture, moving past the simple elements of form and figure.
Many of these pieces are commissioned works- portraits for a loved one, or for posterity. Some pieces have been cast from the same model over the course of half a lifetime.
"Geoff's work captures the essence of the subject in a very unique way. He combines amazing technique with imagination and vision. These pieces take us past the form of the model, showing the spirit within."
