Harrison Fogle - Old Gregg

Old Gregg, made by local artist Harrison Fogle

Dimensions: approx 9" diameter, 6" depth

"For my piece, Old Gregg, I used commonly found everyday objects you could find around the house. I used a metal flower hanger for the base and an old whale toy for the head which I covered in a car shammy mitt for the hair. The top edge of the piece is covered in scrub sponges I cut and split in half and painted with acrylic paint. The eyes are made from some plastic easter eggs. Floral accents were used for the beard. I usually look for items that speak to me and I have an idea in my head and I try to execute it the best that I can with what I have; Even if it's not meant to be used for art. 

I am traditionally an acrylic and watercolor artist. I also sculpt and learned how to make molds for resign figures. I studied at the Savannah College of Art & Design, receiving my BFA in illustration. Shows like this remind me of my courses that aimed to find art-making in untraditional materials. I love the challenge!"
