ABOUT THE ARTWORK
This rare style of direct metal welded sculpture was inspired by the idea of hundreds of gears all coming together to form tangible matter out of thoughts. One can easily be transported to a dreamy place of contemplation pondering and thinking about how this elegant representation of the sculpted male head is supported by nothing but bicycle sprockets. The notion of thoughts coming together as gears and forming a translucent form will inspire and challenge the understanding of how things are usually made. This welded bicycle sprocket format is one i'm exploring now since early 2015. The subject of the human head and face are common themes in my work as i continue to explore and get better at anatomical accuracy through direct metal welded post industrialized parts.
