I have many ideas for new works, so I do not generally repeat designs when instead I could spend the time creating entirely novel sculpture. Part of what makes an artwork special to me and worth all the effort of making it is its uniqueness---it is the only one in the world of whatever it is. However, one-of-a-kind sculpture is inherently expensive because of the large amount of time required in the design and individual construction. In addition, many of my works require precise jigs which hold pieces in exact relative position for assembly. These jigs sometimes require more time to prepare than the actual sculpture parts. In a limited edition work, this design and preparation time is divided among several copies. So I am trying this new approach of limited edition forms in order to satisfy requests for more affordable sculptures. The fact that each is of a different color satisfies my need that each be a unique only-one-in-the-universe work. By limiting each form to only six pieces, I can still largely focus on new works.
