Unique. Collin Townsend Velkoff’s sculptural design pieces explore how our consciousness is derived from our relationship with materials, both natural and manmade. He explains 'by using cement and anchoring forms to stone, I want to create a sense of familiarity and comfort. Through the manipulation of form, balance, and texture, I want my sculptures to convey a feeling of unease and tension which communicates our relationship with materials and our dependence on the environment.’ Velkoff received his bachelor from Pratt Institute NY, and his Masters from Aalto University Helsinki. He now lives and works in Germany.
