Photo sculpture

For the Styrofoam Photo sculpture, Herring starts with a polystyrene base and pastes thousands of cut up photographs to the base. “Gloria,” one of his most famous sculptures, is of a girl leaning against a wall in a colorful flower dress holding her necklace. Her

ring took pictures from every angle of her and he cut and pastes them on the base to form the sculpture.
