I am a sculptor who specializing in clay, precious metals, and casting. My work often finds the humor in the grotesque though my commentary of humanity through the use of themes from pop culture. My body of work enjoys a relationship between my attention to detail and quality and my pieces’ relationship to the viewer. I also enjoy curation, and have aided in the curation of gallery exhibitions. For more information please visit coryblanchard.com.
