PROJECTS UNDER WAY IN THE STUDIO
Quattro, suspended from the gantry crane
While he continues finish work on Wherever You Go, There You Are, Kevin is also working on several other projects, many of which will be seen at the show Metal Paper Resin ….
Also under way is Quattro, a sculpture inspired by Sprung. “”The name of this piece may change,”” Kevin says, “”based on how the sculpture is developing.”” It is now upright and largely shaped, although Kevin continues to tweak it and weld it into place. Stay tuned ….
Based on the never-ending form the trefoil knot, the sculpture Knot Meis just back from the sandblaster. The next step is its patina. See it before it was loaded in the trailer.
The still-untitled spike sculpture continues to take shape as Kevin adds spikes and shapes them. See it in its current state on the Web site.
