Yippee! Great to see a new video with your new mini boxes! Love the slides and the 3-D effect, and the world-within-worlds as you're placing the minis into larger boxes. I'd love to see a tutorial on how you cut glass. It adds such a great dimension. Thank you for this video!
That's a good description..."world within worlds"...exactly what those little boxes transform into...many thanks! I haven't done a glass cutting video...I think there are already several on youtube.
Absolutely gorgeous- I especially love your larger boxes, it adds so much more depth and drama! I'm obsessed with your work and am definitely using you as an inspiration
Aunque no fué un tutorial paso a paso, me encantó. Puedes darte una idea de cómo trabajar con material accesible. Esos ensamblajes quedaron lindos e interesantes. Saludos desde Carolina del Norte.
Please continue to post your wonderful videos on your assemblage art. You are my absolute favorite. I can't believe the combinations you come up with. What must it be like inside your head? I love it! Your work is amazing and when you're done with a project it looks solid, well-made and, always intriguing.
I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a way to log back into an instagram account? I was stupid forgot the password. I would love any help you can offer me
@Seth Alden i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Like the others here, it's great to see a new video from you....so glad you're still finding new ways to showcase your assemblages.... and giving us new ideas. TFS. regards, Graham.
Bravo, your fans were wondering when the new video would be coming! It's great to see you and hear your voice, and more importantly, it's great to see the new work.
I hope so, you don't know how much inspiration I received from watching your videos and listening to your process over and over, so new videos are like finding gold to me.
been waiting and waiting ! Hooray ! Huge fan of your work, here. This was 16.13 minutes of total fascination. Thanx so much for your efforts on "our",(your fans'), behalf.
Happy Happy Joy Joy! So happy to see you back and you all ways amaze me with your work. Loved the slide idea and test tubes. I wish we had a spot to shop like yours. Maybe we do and I'm not sure were to look.
Greg, it's so good to see new work!! You always seem so prolific and your design sense is beautiful to behold. Thank for inspiring me to get back into the studio as well ... Cheers, Michael B., PDX
Hello. I am a new subscriber from Norway. I really loved all of your fantastic art. You are a GREAT artist. I love the way you are thinking outside of the box. This kind of art makes me happy and I would not regret hanging this art on my wall. Thank you so much for sharing. Elisabeth
As others have said, it's so good to see you again. You do such a great job, it's fun watching you create and seeing the finished piece. Keep up the great work! Do you sell your pieces?
Hi, I did see your comment, and thank you so much! I'm glad you like my work! I have thought that I may start making a few new videos in the near future!
Hey Greg! Nice to hear you again & see your video. Miss ya. These are fantastic pieces- keep 'em coming. I think taking apart a piano would be so fun! I love the slides too- funny how accidents turn into wonderful pieces of art. Hope all is well with you and the family........ Mo
Thanks, Mo! I miss not being able to check in with LMM every now and then...it looks like everyone has probably gone in different directions. Hope you are doing well!
Greg, In my mind you are nothing short of genius!! Where do you get these ideas? I have tried to create, but nothing comes close to giving me the satisfaction I find from viewing your work. So good to see your videos on here and as always, eager to see more.
Thanks, Ben...no real "genius" here, but I certainly like "playing" with all the strange things that I've collected for my boxes! I'm not sure where the ideas come from...all of them kind of an evolution, I guess...something that happens once I get started with each piece. There are also plenty of times when there seems to be no "magic" at all.
Greg - great work! I have been doing some a la Cornell boxes recently - like you have antique toys, vintage objects and photographs that I have collected for decades....Inspiration is not my issue, but the actual construction is quite the learning curve. Do you have a video that can help me with the basics: cutting tools, backing papers for photos to have dimension, gluing the paper and 'wall' surrounds....attaching the different materials....best acid free options, etc.etc....any direction you can give me would be huge time savers....thanks so much!
I find your videos very useful for thinking about assemblage techniques. I am envious of your sources of materials. Do you glue paper images to the glass? If so, do you use your usual silicone glue? Thanks again!
Greg , I love your work , I also work with assemblage art as well , may I ask what type of silicon glue do you use , various types of glue as well . Keep up the great work my friend , you are very creative
I use clear silicon caulking...the stuff that comes in the big tubes at any hardware store. There are often several varieties available, but I buy the cheapest brand...it all works the same. I've also been using "Yes Paste" for more light-weight paper kinds of collage projects, etc. Thanks for your comments
I have viewed your video several times and enjoy it more each time! If you don't mind, I have a few questions: When you put the glue down for the microscope slides, where do you put it? I know you don't want the glue to show. What is the best way that you have found to hang assemblage work? I'm in a gallery, and I'm still trying to figure out how to hang something that is completely flat on the back. I have some cradled board which I have been combining encaustic and assemblage, and so it is heavier than a cardboard box, and it's "inside out", so the flat part is against the wall. Do you have any suggestions? I thought about the wire hanger & eye hooks which I use on other pieces, but then it would not hang flush to the wall. Do you make copies of your old photos or do you use the original?
+Rebecca Livingston Cook Hi Rebecca...glad you enjoyed the video. It's been awhile since I did the microscope pieces, but the silicone went around the sides of the slide bundle, if that makes any sense, and then it is all hidden within the framing. Hanging the boxes is done in a number of ways. Some boxes allow me to actually drill some screws and add the hanging wire, some boxes need an additional piece of wood glued onto the back which could then accommodate the hanging hardware, and for the very lightweight boxes, I've found there are plastic "sticky" hangers that can be glued on. I may do another video before long with some of these hanging techniques that I use.
Hi .. enjoyed this video and your work. Question: I'm a 2D artist but have a project involving lots of objects saved my my mother, me and my kids. I want to create an art piece that will save these objects. How would I go about attaching them.. don't want to glue some of them? I'm researching different techniques of assemblage but not finding ways to preserve the object so to speak. Maybe sewing on.. ??? Any suggestions welcome.
Yes, I use clear silicone that comes in the big caulking tubes, although I think you can buy it in much smaller tubes...the kind that someone might use to fix a leaky aquarium, etc.
Thank you for sharing your work with us! You are such a generous teacher and inspiring artist!
You didn't go unnoticed! Thank you for your art.
Your newest subscriber-for-life thanks you for your inspirational channel!
Loved looking at all your boxes Greg. Totally Inspiring and has given me ideas of how to use some of my found objects.
Beautiful!
Thankyou for sharing!
Every blessing to you for future works👍👍
Makes my heart sing, thank you ❤
Nice to see you back. Can't get enough of these assemblage jewels.
Many thanks!

Great assemblages. I love the compact images. They would be wonderful to collect.
These are your best yet. I love the boxes within boxes. Thank you for sharing your process.

Happy Happy Joy Joy! So happy to see you back and you all ways amaze me with your work. Loved the slide idea and test tubes. I wish we had a spot to shop like yours. Maybe we do and I'm not sure were to look.
Thanks, Diane. Our special recycling store is called "Scrap." I've heard that they there may be a few more of them around the country.
Love this. I thought the microscope slides and how they make a magnified/old tv view, are brilliant xxxx
The slides were one of those "happy" accidents...as well as the test tubes...many thanks.
Greg, it's so good to see new work!! You always seem so prolific and your design sense is beautiful to behold. Thank for inspiring me to get back into the studio as well ... Cheers, Michael B., PDX
Thanks Michael...I really enjoy the "documentation" of my own process...good to share with others.

I know I’m like 4 years too late finding you, and you will most likely never see this comment, but your artwork is amazing and makes me so happy!

G Hanson LMM is no more- hasn't been for a long time so you aren't missing anything. That is the reason I went to FB. The gang is there!
Always loved and still love your work Greg.
Cheers, Lea :)
Nice

I don’t understand how you get the slides or tubes to stay in place. I do you silicone glue each one in place?

What do you do with them?
Hello. Do you make your own boxes?
When you say glued with silicone... should we assume silicone caulk?
Yes, I use clear silicone that comes in the big caulking tubes, although I think you can buy it in much smaller tubes...the kind that someone might use to fix a leaky aquarium, etc.
Thanks, I have worked with silicone doing home repair. I'll try it as glue.Larry aka zenabowli
