David Furman

David Furman is best known for porcelain hand formed Trompe-l'?il still lives. He often worked in series based on common objects exploring the possibilities of a theme, for instance, a drafting pad with pencil marks, pink circular eraser and yellow led pencil or plates of crackers and cheese.

Furman has also created a series of figurative sculptures based on wooden figure drawing models. In addition, hemade a series of miniature environments based on rooms in his home during 1973-1974. The Contemporary Archaeology series produced in 1985 is focused on miniature collapsed brick structures.

In 1987 he created an installation with A F Caldiero, a poet and sound alchemist. The piece was called Lost and Found: An Archeological Composition and was shown at the Salt Lake Art Center, Salt Lake City, Utah.
