Toothpick Sculptures

I'm a Sculptor of toothpicks and I reference the orbits of the planets for my designs. When I build a piece I use anywhere from 20,000 to 80,000 toothpicks or more. Hot glue binds my work together like shining dew droplets in a huge tangled web. I associate sounds, numbers and letters as colors which I use to create order when building a sculpture. I'm fascinated by Pythagorean Triangles and Platonic Solids and currently read a lot of material on String Theory, Quantum Physics and Cosmology.
