Above: SNAKE CHARMER, 1932; Part glazed ceramic; 14"h wooden base prepared
by Gregory as part of this sculpture. In some instances, he carved and painted
the bases in decorative designs. Most of the metalworks Gregory used
hugh chunks of coal and left it in its original form, drilling a hole at the
perfect spot to insert his work into it. At other times, he did chisel the base so that it
would conform to his desired design. In very few instances did he use marble.
While I am on the subject of stands for the Gregory
sculptures; his outdoor sculptures were placed on a low but decorative type cinder blocks.
Placed on the six foot pillars, he had two abstract metalworks at the entrance and toward
center left of garden he had The Seed, a life-size sculpture.
