Having several projects under way at a time allows each sculpture to develop organically. In addition to Torrent and Sanctuary (see below) and learning more about the lathe and mill, Kevin has begun a new piece created from found materials(above right).
Kevin has used railroad spikes in the past with his Ocotillos and Shitake Agaves to interpret real and imagined plants. This new sculpture, however, is more abstract, in the spirit of TwistTie. “It’s been a while since I have worked with spikes, and I’m very much enjoying looking at them in a new way,” Kevin says.
Torrent, still under way
A Torus Nears Completion
Sometimes it takes a while for a sculpture’s name to solidify. The solid-skinned torus Kevin has been working on since January now has its name. “‘Torrent‘ just seems to fit,” he says.
The flowing, free-standing sculpture is now getting its surface treatment. “The foundation of the patina is rust, but we are working with some other materials to give it depth,” Kevin says. See a larger photo of Torrent on its own page.
Finding Peace
A mid-sized, free-standing sculpture, Sanctuary(below right) unfolds its form carefully. Still, while Kevin was creating it, he saw its finished form in his mind. “That happens with many of my sculptures,” he says. “It’s just a matter of making it come to life.”
Waxes, patinas and paints have been coming into focus on Kevin’s work recently. “I am still thinking about the finish for this piece,” Kevin says. Watch this piece’s progress….
Sanctuary, before its patina
A NEW COMMISSION – A Twist on Endlessness
Kevin will also soon begin on a new commission for a fine-art sculpture in his series of endless geometric shapes. “I am fascinated by forms that look impossible,” Kevin says.
This particular piece is another interpretation of the mobius strip, a one-sided, three-dimensional form. The mid-sized sculpture will use the same open structure as After Escher and Skeletorus.
To better present Kevin’s work, he has launched a new Web site. “This new design and organization is cleaner and better displays my work,” Kevin explains.
Sculptures are divided into fine art and home & garden categories, and Kevin’s videos get their own section.
