David Gerbec’s work is beautiful and he’s really shy about it so I’m sharing some here. Come to the Arden Fair tomorrow to see more! @david_gerbec #ardenfair #ardende #arden #artexhibition #nextfabmade #nextfab #nextfabde @nextfab_de (at Arden Gild Hall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1zphwKltK7/?igshid=1v66usnuzo33j

Something I’ve been working on for weeks. I guess it could be done. It measures 28 x 24 x 9 inches, silk and Plexiglas rings I cut on the Universal Laser at NextFab in Wilmington. #nextfabmade @nextfab_de #creativedistrictwilm #creativewilmington #silksculpture #fibersculpture #fiberartist #contemporaryfiberart #fiberart #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #fineart #fiberart #fiberarts (at Wilmington, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw-XewflJdR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=j6ffnyon6x1i

This composition was made complete by adding the turquoise Plexiglas. Kate from @nextfab_de said it reminds her of seasons. I like that. These were engraved on the Universal Laser at NextFab in the Creative District in Wilmington, DE. This piece incorporates color, images, movement and with the right lighting some cast color on the wall. I had to learn Illustrator which still makes me crazy but my friends at NextFab always help me out and we get it done together. #engravedplexiglass #universallaser #artistlife #nextfabmade #nextfab #nextfabde #fineart #creativedistrictwilm @creativedistrictwilm #contemporaryartist #plexiglasart #plexiglasartist (at Wilmington, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv2OFuHlIQ0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1wcz74w9xs35h

I made this cutting board in the wood shop at NextFab. My father would be so proud of me! @nextfab_de woodworking #nextfabmade #thankschad #beginnerwoodworking #nextfab #nextfabwilmington #creativedistrictwilm #makeshiteveryday #handmade (at Wilmington, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu7L9RTFd1F/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=194z1sylor516

New Plexi samples in my favorite color. These are colored acrylic sheets cut and engraved at NextFab on the universal laser then painted with pigment dye. #turquoise #plexiglas #universallaser #plexiglasart #nextfabmade #nextfabmade #nextfab #engravedplexiglass #contemporaryart #contemporaryartist #fineartist #fineart #artistprocess #artiststudio (at Wilmington, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/Buug6JAlBXI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=49e2h4a02qaz

Today it was too cold to spray paint and open the windows to work with my dyes so I worked a this new silk sculpture. Call it a mobile if you must, I call it sculpture in motion. I always get a surprised look from people when I say I make silk sculpture. The silk is sewn around rings I cut from a 1/4 inch acrylic on the Universal Laser at NextFab in Wilmington. #nextfabmade #nextfabmadede #nextfab #workinprogress #creativedistrictwilm #fineartistsofinstagram #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #fineartist #silksculpture #fiberartist #contemporaryfiberart #contemporaryfiberartist #artistinspiredbynature #inspiredbynature (at Wilmington, Delaware) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtUGnYyFwrv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14mlzlc54zopi

I’m still just experimenting. I only partially removed the protective paper from the leaf vein piece because I thought it looked cool. I dyed the tree rings by brushing pigment dye over it and then had to spend a good amount of time peeling and rubbing the paper off.
