Hellbent, But Heaven Sent!

After completing my bar in school  I
had a week left of the semester so I
decided to play around with scrap
metal. I started by searching the bone
yard from the horizontal bandsaw for
remnants and gathered shavings from
the laths and whatever sheet metal that
was around and low and behold two
trees and a snowman sitting around a
campfire was born!   

The process opened my eyes up to let
go of perfection and take chances with
my art. I always save my scraps after
plasma cutting and look at shapes that
come alive in the remnant of my sheet
metal. So many time crazy shapes are
created and used in artwork.
