Sculpting Skylines with Tom Fruin

Welcome back to Cracked with Chevonne Ariss! Today, I’m honored to have Tom Fruin join me. Known for his large-scale installations, Tom uses steel and brightly colored plexiglass to create monumental sculptures. Tom’s work stands out not only for its visual impact but also for its commitment to accessibility and sustainability with his use of reclaimed materials. You may already be familiar with Tom’s work but just didn’t know the artist behind the pieces. Fruin's largest installation to date, the Watertower series, is installed on multiple rooftops across New York City and around the country. Tom, who grew up in Los Angeles and now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York, shares with me today his experiences and insights into the world of large-scale installations. Join me as I crack it all wide open… To see more of Tom’s work, his instagram is @tomfruin and mine is @ runaglassworks . For a lucky Patreon page member Tom is gifting some stickers and one of his glass patchwork candles. The best part: as the candle burns down, the colors glow through the glass it’s really pretty! I’ll be doing the drawing for that September 8th, 2024.
