Whether Gene designed or
fabricated a candlestick, wood
bowl, piece of sculpture, or
furniture, everything was perfect
from inception to completion!
That was Gene. Each and every
form, and shape was correct
in proportion size and scale...

THE LIFE OF GENE SUMMERS
CATALOG OF DESIGN SPRING 2016WORKS IN BRONZEG E N E S U M M E R S
All works are created using the ancient method of lost wax
casting. This method captures and replicates the most precise
details of the artist’s original model. Labor intensive, this
method requires the original sculpture to be duplicated
in wax each time a new casting is poured.
LOST WAX CASTING
Gene Summers working with clay in his studio. Pietransanta, Italy, 1985.
Gene’s passion was in the making.
Born out of a life in architecture
and then moving to the scale
of furniture and sculpture, he found
new ways of both using his hands
as well as the quality
of material that comes with this
more personal scale. Gene was
about the enrichment of life
that comes with seeing the
product of your efforts — visible,
tangible, everyday. He was always
interested in knowing the best
way of making, whether it was the
finest tools in his hand, the age-old
weavers of Aubusson, or the skill
of casting bronze in Walla Walla.
