Idol to Exceptionalism (Pink 32/50) by Jeremy Waak

Idol to Exceptionalism (Pink 32/50)
Rotationally-cast hand-dyed polyurethane. Each oen is supplied with an Authenticity Card, which becomes a landing space for the sculpture to be displayed. Edition of 50.
These simple little sculptures are made as counterpoints to the one-off Idols in
metal. Cast using a low-tech hand rotation method, and each individually dyed,
they retain their uniqueness even through repetition. The mold-lines remain, and
are even exaggerated a bit, to make visible the production process.

4.25" x 1.625" x 2"

About Jeremy Waak

Jeremy Waak was raised in Lincoln, Nebraska. At an early age, he began to pursue creative endeavors, such as drawing and painting, which have remained integral activities for him. Being the child of a mechanic, Jeremy was heavily influenced by cars, engines, and all things mechanical. Jeremy attended the Memphis College of Art as an undergraduate and majored in metalsmithing. In Memphis, he began to explore the design and creation of mechanisms, which spawned the first in a series of hand-held devices called the "One Kernel Popcorn Popper." These disarmingly funny objects have allowed him to explore his love of the mechanical while making social commentary about our relationship to gadgets, planned obsolescence, absurdity, and Americana.
