About the Item
I Hope He Knows the Way Home, Original Contemporary Narrative Wooden Sculpture
14" x 24" x 50" (HxWxD) Wood, String, Plastic, Clear Finish
This wooden sculpture by artist Todd McCollister features a sleek and modern design with smooth, undulating platforms that meet at dynamic angles that complement the organic figure of the elephant that is descending the staircase.
Artist Commentary:
Sometimes, after very bad things, there is magic. I woke up with one surviving image from a rich and elaborate dream. A horse, saddled but riderless, badly burned, was descending stairs, almost home. Around his neck was a beautiful string of fish, freshly caught.
About the Artist:
Like life, Todd McCollister's work puts ordinary characters in extraordinary situations. Many of them are explorers or adventurers, like all of us out in the world trying to achieve goals or rewards without clear rules and directions. They bravely face isolation, defeat, adversity, and success. They might even be absent, for the moment, from their own story. Some of their tasks may be puzzling, some are done badly, and some are alarmingly adept. Most have a sincere optimism that comes from fairy tales, magic realism, and old-fashioned legends. McCollister earned a BFA in Sculpture and Photography in 1996 from Texas Christian University and an MFA in Sculpture in 2000 from Stony Brook University. He then moved to New York City, first pursuing Sculpture and shifting to Furniture in 2006. In 2014 he brought what he learned back to his hometown of Omaha, NE, and founded Long Grain Furniture. Since the Pandemic, his focus has shifted back to Sculpture, his first passion. He is an active member of the Omaha art community and believes in supporting his fellow artists as a path to everyone’s success. He’s currently running a monthly event series called “Final Fridays at Todd’s,” aimed at bringing the Omaha art community together to make us all stronger, through networking and sharing experience and information.

- Listening at the Cliffside, Original Contemporary Wooden Mixed Media SculptureLocated in Boston, MAListening at the Cliffside, Original Contemporary Wooden Mixed Media Sculpture 20" x 65" x 42" (HxWxD) Wood, Stone, String, Brass Bell, Glass Bottle, Clear Finish In this highly conceptual work, artist Todd McCollister has combined a myriad of elements to depict a narrative scene that makes the viewer pause. Inspired by historical elements, the work explores space, structure, and sound. A small boat-shaped after shave bottle serves as a floating element beneath a brass bell. A wall of undulating wood creates the cliffside, while more delicate beams of wood jut behind the piece, somehow evoking both fragility and the integrity of industrial engineering at work. Artist Commentary: This piece started as a reference to the "acoustic mirror" listening stations on the southeast coast of England. These huge concrete parabolic reflectors focus sound to a small point. During the second world war, the British posted soldiers at the focus of each one, where they would listen for German boats...Category
