Stations of the Cross: From monumental to table top

The monumental Stations of the Cross project for Cloisters on the Platte was installed earlier this year and is now visible to the public. The participating sculptors have agreed to create a scaled down version of each of the 14 stations which will be offered for purchase.

We have started work on smaller versions of the two stations we created. The sculptures have been scanned and digitally printed at about 21" high. The surface of each figure is being refined to accentuate details and textures. Once the detailing is complete, our foundry will make molds and cast the figures. We'll have details on how to purchase individual figures or the entire 14 stations within a few weeks. Until then, contact us directly if you would like more information.

Eichinger selected as finalist in Wyoming State Capitol Sculpture Project

Eichinger Sculpture Studio is one of four teams shortlisted to create a sculpture proposal for the Wyoming State Capitol building. The commission involves four bronze sculptures approximately 5’x10’ each. They will be placed in alcoves visible from all floors of the Capitol Rotunda.

The capitol building is under major renovation with completion expected in 2019. When constructed in 1888, the classical Renaissance Revival architecture included extensive ornamentation throughout. The original design also included four alcoves for sculptures. These were never produced as intended. With the restoration, the original plan will be fulfilled.

The four sculptures will be allegorical and representative of the attributes, values, symbolism, and history of the State. Following a site visit earlier this month, Marty is now completing his research and preparing a maquette of his concept. Budget for this project is $280,000. Award of the commission will be announced on March 2, 2018. Inclusion as a finalist for this project is a compliment to Marty’s style, skill and past accomplishments.

Changes in and around the studio

The long journey to triple the size of our building is complete. With the addition of two floors of creative space, The Geode is the foundation for a creative community. Southeast Portland has become famous for its emerging culture of inventors, makers, innovators and entrepreneurs. Our location, at the heart of the Division/Clinton corridor is a prime location for creative interaction.

Construction began in the fall of 2017.

The building, which reflects Marty's imagination is an architectural form built around light. His vision for a studio, gallery, office with additional spaces for innovators, entrepreneurs, and creatives of all stripes is now a reality.
