About the artwork.
University of Wisconsin-Parkside Professor Trenton Baylor has been creating sculptural furniture for several years, although he originally studied painting while at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Gear #1 is an example of Baylor’s painting practice and was awarded a purchase award from Watercolor Wisconsin 2002. He is inspired by a range of things, from what he finds beautiful to what he––by his own admission––does not know or understand.
