Brush
Beverly K. Brandt wrote in American Craft magazine (April–May 1992):
Robert Gehrke's Scoop and Brush explore both the surreal and the superreal. Assemblages of everyday elements cast in bronze, these bas-relief plaques willfully combine objects whose relationships defy logic: an ice cream scoop, a sheet of torn corrugated cardboard, a ball of yarn, a sliver of blue glass. The viewer alone must decipher the order occurring among the seemingly unrelated, while determining the dialogue in which these objects engage.
