About the Item
The Gem Tree, Original Contemporary Mixed Media Sculpture
26" x 31" x 19" (HxWxD) Wood, Wire, Crystal Beads
Artist Todd McCollister has created a 3D surrealist scene out of wood and metal. A wooden wave encloses around a lone tree that is dotted with crystal foliage. A ladder extends from the interior of this wave and up and out of a small hole, leading to a slanted wooden platform. Though accessible, the tree remains nestled and tucked away, almost unreachable.
Artist Commentary:
The precious thing is never easy to find.
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.

- Butterfly Dreams, Original Surrealist PaintingLocated in Boston, MAButterfly Dreams 30.0 x 40.0 x 2.0, 8.0 lbs Acrylic on canvas Hand signed by artist Artist's Commentary: "A woman is seemingly in flight over the ocean, with her body being made up of butterflies. More are flying in, others are flying out. The woman has no legs - in fact, upon closer inspection, she consists of only head, hair, arms and hands - the butterflies have flown in to form the shape of her body - but in some places, you can see right through to the water or sky. Surely, this must be a dream. And perhaps, it is the dream of the woman depicted in the painting. That is for the viewer to decide." About the Artist: Tom Blood...Category
