Welcome to The Gallery for Fred Wilder
The Sculptuer totled The Edison Poem
Created by artist Fred Wilder as a visual representation of his poem about the Wizard of Menlo park. Thomas Alva Edison the inventor of the Electric Light Bulb that brought light and iluminated our nights with electricity so that our vampirick and sordid ways would be safe from those that would hunt and destroy us before we had supped on the blood of the still living and then crept off to have a few winks in our cozy coffins.
It was vastly more convieant to best those that would hunt us for sport now that we could preciev them eved in the nocturnal hours. At lwast that is what i have heard the artist known as Fred Wilder statting on many an ocasion.

The Edison Poem, by Fred Wilder (c) 2011
The orange glow of a wire bent,
Trapped in a bottle, glass void the atmosphere Extinguish the dark day spent.
Creatures of the night have we all become.
Electric light is the spell brung. The Wizard of Menlo park released the nocturnal yearnings of the species Human. Once bound in chains forged in
superstition of a setting sun, now freed by the amber flow Edison's magic bottles delivered us one by one....
