Each face is built from torn cardboard and packing paper, its features formed from creases and tears rather than carved or drawn lines. Strips of shredded junk mail are layered across each face in place of paint or pattern — fragments of mail addressed to someone, intended for someone, discarded by someone, now reused to form a brow, a cheekbone, a mouth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe four faces are not identical. Each is shaped by its own folds, its own torn edges, its own scattering of color and text. They represent four individuals who have each been through different trials — each carrying their own faults, their own scars, their own particular kind of strength earned through struggle. Positioned facing outward from a shared center, they form a single unit: four directions, one structure, each face supporting the others simply by being part of the whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe title speaks to a belief about resilience: that no one carries everything alone, and that the people who have struggled the most often become the ones best equipped to carry others. Four as One is about a kind of chosen unity — not because everyone is the same, but because each person's particular hardship becomes a strength the group can lean on. Together, the four faces suggest that any obstacle, internal or external, becomes survivable when carried collectively rather than alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAs with all of Craig Davoll's work, every material in Four as One was diverted from the waste stream. The junk mail, the packing paper, the cardboard — these are things meant to be glanced at once and thrown away. Reassembled, they become faces. They become a record of struggle and survival. They become, together, one thing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Davoll Sculpted Gear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49921089208559,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9565\/9759\/files\/IMG_2509.jpg?v=1782159568"},{"product_id":"first-love-sculpture","title":"First Love - Sculpture","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFirst Love\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eChicken Wire, cardboard, packing paper, synthetic hair, repurposed beads, repurposed curtain rod.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e54\" x 40\" x 30\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eFirst Love is a life-scale, two-part sculpture: a seated human figure playing a cello, both the player and the instrument built from the same recycled and repurposed materials — chicken wire, packing paper, cardboard, pantyhose, curtain rod, repurposed beads. Figure and instrument are inseparable, sharing origin, sharing material, sharing form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe figure is fully realized as a human form. The body is rendered in dark pantyhose-wrapped chicken wire, the hexagonal mesh visible beneath the surface like skin over bone. Long hair cascades from the head in looped and curled wire. The figure leans into the instrument with physical commitment — not posed, but playing. Woven into the torso is paper printed with sheet music, as if the music lives inside the player's body, not just in the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe cello is built differently — lighter, more open. Kraft paper and packing paper are torn and layered in organic strips across the chicken wire armature, creating a body that is pale, textured, almost geological. The curtain rod serves as the bow, held in the figure's dark hand mid-draw. The two forms — dark figure, pale cello — are opposites made from the same materials. They belong to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe piece sits in a simple wooden folding chair. That ordinariness is intentional. This is not a formal portrait. It is an everyday act of devotion — a person and the thing they love most, inseparable from the first time they touched it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eEvery material in First Love was headed for a landfill. The packing paper, the cardboard, the pantyhose, the beads — objects discarded without ceremony. Craig Davoll's practice is rooted in the belief that thrown-away things still hold value, still hold memory, still hold form waiting to be found. In First Love, those materials become a player, become an instrument, become a love story made entirely from what others let go.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Davoll Sculpted Gear","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49923186884847,"sku":null,"price":2100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/9565\/9759\/files\/IMG_2733.jpg?v=1782162781"}],"url":"https:\/\/davollsculptedgear.com\/collections\/art.oembed","provider":"Davoll Sculpted Gear","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
