I happened across these crayon sculptures on the Internet this week, and I absolutely love them. I'm always impressed by carving, since it's something I wouldn't have the first clue how to do myself -- but there's something particularly striking about Chau's work, as seen in this Chinese zodiac set. I love the bright colours, and there's something ironic about making a drawing tool into the actual focus of the piece. Mostly it’s just incredibly talented and fun, and makes me want to search out a box of crayons so I can try it myself.
This image is taken from the Packer Schopf Gallery's website,
but there are plenty more on Chau's blog. I've just lost the best part of an evening
being mesmerised by all the crayon sculptures I found there.
