Exploring the extraneous in Randy Colosky’s sculptures

“…Having cast bronze before, Colosky got to thinking about the channels and sprues, as they’re called, that permit molten metal to be poured into a mould and air to escape. These extraneous forms typically get discarded and forgotten but Colosky saw in them unexploited extensions of modern sculpture’s already deep vein of found source material….” Kenneth Baker (San Francisco Chronicle)
