By combining shouldering techniques forge welds and electric welding I try to depict a brief moment of creativity preserved forever in steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom the Artist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI try to use material scavenged from a scrap yard for my figures. I especially look for large stock that contains heavy rust pitting. This pitting texture is then compressed and distorted through the forging process and left on the rounded face of the steel this texture presents an interesting contrast to the clean faces of the forged surfaces.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"2026 Making Matters Exhibition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44247919231156,"sku":null,"price":2500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0311\/0859\/5757\/files\/BowenBeaty_TheBassistDetail1.jpg?v=1781642629","url":"https:\/\/www.petersvalleygallery.org\/products\/the-bassist-by-bowen-beaty","provider":"Peters Valley Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
