Duncan Sherwood-Forbes

Duncan Sherwood-Forbes is an American multimedia artist and designer specializing in wire and figurative metalwork. Since 2006 Sherwood-Forbes has used wire to investigate the boundary between sculpture and drawing, using sinuous curving lines to draw through the air and carve negative space into figures and portraits. With work ranging from the minuscule to larger than life, Sherwood-Forbes’ work has brought joy to collectors for almost 20 years.

When not creating his wire sculpture, Sherwood-Forbes teaches workshops and experiments with a wide range of media encompassing ceramics, poetry, drawing, and performance.

He will be residing in California's Bay Area through the end of 2024.
