Toothpick Sculptures
I use hot glue & toothpicks/cocktail sticks with phosphorescent paint and LED lights with references into Sacred Geometry, Planetary Orbital Pathways, Synesthesia number and sound relationships, and various mathematical algorithms in nature.
Six Million Pod (Unfinished but not forgotten)
This is Six Million Pod which is basically a sculptural exploration in which each toothpick represents one Jew killed during World War 2.
Set as a memorial to my family and that of all the Jews from WW2 who lost their lives and to the families of the survivors. I wanted to explore individualism through different toothpicks and also wanted to be able to "touch" an abstract number so I could better understand what that meant in terms of human loss.
Toothpicks were mostly donated to me for this project to which I documented each donation made and who contributed:
Donations already made.
Still unfinished, this sculpture waits for a time when I can fund the completion. Until then please keep up to date via this sculptures Facebook page Six Million Pod
Size: 4 ft by 2 ft
