Darrell Gray Artist Statement I spent 35 years in creative employment. Much of that time was spent designing and building luxury homes in Sun Valley. In the early 80¹s I spent four years working in Miami for a company that converted large jets into flying palaces. I also worked refurbishing the interiors of cruise ships. In 2000 my wife talked me into taking a bronzecasting class. I was completely hooked on sculpting. I soon expanded into other mediums. My work experiences gave me many of the skills I needed and gave me the fundamentals for learning new ones.
My sculptures often combine four or five different mediums. I work with copper, brass, forged and welded steel, stone , glass and other materials. Ialso incorporate light and movement in my projects. I love the challenge ofone of a kind unique pieces. I incorporate mythological, archetypal,fanciful and nature themes in my sculptures..
