The Craftsmen Series contains working man's tools recreated in copper pennies that are entirely hollow and true to size. The ghostlike representations of the original tools question the value of labor and time inherent in the object. Sculptures from this series have been acquired by the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery in Washington DC, The Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton MA, and numerous private collections.
