His primary artistic influence is Alexander Calder. abstract sculpture by GChris is mission-driven. GChris sculpture supports our creating and sustaining large, positive change and achieving a thriving future for all forever. sculptures by GChris utilize natural materials -- copper and wood. Woods are primarily American hardwoods -- mostly black walnut -- with contrasts provided by exotic African
and South American woods. Copper is used in many forms and takes each work through a living process. GChris sculptures are to be interacted with and "gently touched". Sizes range from a foot to dozen feet or larger. Some make sounds when moved by wind or people; some remain silent. Some move physically; some move conceptually. All generate shadows, a second image. Existing Thrive! sculpture (e.g., mobiles and stabiles) by GChris may be purchased and number over 100 pieces with dimensions ranging from a few inches to 12 feet and larger. Works of all sizes, even larger works, can be commissioned. The GChris Sculpture primary working studio/gallery, formerly in Washington, DC area, is now in Nelson, WI in an 1885 farmhouse and barn on 30 acre bluffside overlooking the Mississippi River.
