welded metal sculpture.
When I left art school i was focused on sculpting the human figure. The only problem was, i didn't know how to do it or what material to use. I thought about all the different artistic mediums that would allow me to get started.
Clay was real easy to work with but i no access to a kiln and it was to fragile for larger works. Glass is a gorgeous material but aside from being fragile like clay i had no means to the tools let alone the money to get started. Bronze was a definite consideration but once again was cost prohibitive. Wood was ruled out because i didn't have a source or the equipment to gather large blocks of wood let alone a chainsaw to carve with. The only organic material left was steel and i could get that in abundance for free. All i needed was a cheap welder, some basic tools and you can guess what i was doing Christmas day 25 years ago. Recycled Industrial scrap metal as a sculpture medium has been a fantastic and very expressive medium to sculpt with and it is my medium of choice as of today. welded metal sculpture.
