crazy crayons

Christian Faur's True Color series is an interesting use of materials. He makes his work with crayons. Well, not with crayons– of crayons.

In his artist's statement, he explains,"For this body of work I have assembled more than one hundred thousand hand cast crayons of varying colors and shades to produce a body of work that, to the best of my knowledge, is unlike anything done before in art. These individual 'pixels' of wax are precisely stacked into specific locations inside of wooden frames to produce a new art form that uniquely balances the qualities of both photography and sculpture."
