Inspired by life in lockdown, Gobstoppers represent playful attempts at tracking time in the absence of an external reference. Often interpreted as abstractions of calendars, the series is meant to be comical as each piece is not quite right. These immortalized mistakes convey a sense of optimism and remind us not to take ourselves too seriously.
Open for a limited number of commissions per year, Gobstoppers are available in a range of hand painted historical finishes and specialty commercial finishes.
