"HAVA HOVERS"
Wood, cloth, metal, found objects
20" x 23" x 12"


"TIPE COMES IN FOR A LANDING"
Wood, cloth, metal, found objects
31" x 33" x 16"


The raven and owl landing are a part of a new series. The wings on both birds are made up from thin strips of wood wired together. Once the wood is stained it takes on the quality of feathers in motion.

I am going to continue making a group of birds that are landing.

Working in My Studio

I've just returned from SOFA Chicago where my gallery, Jane Sauer, sold five of my pieces. I gave a lecture during the art fair and so inspired one person,after the talk, she came by the booth and purchased one of my pieces.

The photograph above shows one of my rabbits getting ready to be stained. The base also needs to have tin nailed to it.

Birds and Rabbits

I am working with a new gallery in Palm Desert, CA. Several of these pieces are headed to them.

"I am Still An Animal": A Conversation with Geoffrey Gorman

SOFA CHICAGO VIP Lounge

1:30 pm 05-Nov-2011


Geoffrey Gorman creates a strange menagerie of fanciful, found-object animals. Listen as he discusses the process of discovering and working with found materials including sticks, rusted screws, washers, bicycle tires, old tools, bailing wire and discarded canvas, his inspirations and influences, and the mythology behind the ‘lives’ of his curious creatures. An intense physical process goes into the making of each one as they are constructed of many layers of different found materials. Gorman’s works are in the permanent collections of numerous museums as well as in national and international private collections.
