85. Colin McIntyre Blacksmithing moves me like no other pursuit. Forging hot metal integrates an intense physical discipline with a beautiful moment of spontaneous artistic creation. The forms and objects that result are perfect records of the event. Every hammer blow, every physical manipulation is frozen into the metal. I try to breathe life in the material through these forms and textures. My work is largely inspired by creatures from the oceans and all plant life. |
