New Project!

Any guesses as to what these two components are soon to become a part of? If you have an idea, post it in the comments. I'll keep you all updated with progress pictures as the sculpture progresses, and you can see if you were right.

As far as previously completed sculptures go, expect a video later today.

I am also working on a written piece about wire sculpture. It could take the form of an essay, or it could be a poem––whichever of the two it may be, expect to see it in about a week's time.

Again, don't be a stranger, please feel free to comment if you are inclined to do so.

Digital Difficulties

I apologize for the lack of uploads this past week or so, but due to some common issues with digital technology, ie. dropping my phone into the Ocean's black abyss while on vacation, I have been unable to post for the past several days.  I am back home now, and I promise that new pictures and other updates are soon to follow.

Finished Crucifix

Here is a picture of the finished crucifix, as promised. It is a little late, but I have been a little busy. More sculptures coming soon.

Jesus in wire, Crucifix in progress.

Here is a picture of Wire Jesus hanging on the holding cross while I constructed the spiral cross on which he is now suspended. I will post a picture of the finished piece tomorrow.

Inaugural Address

Hello, friend, and welcome to my little borrowed corner of the web.  My name is Nicholas.  As you might have deduced from the title of this blog, I make wire sculptures, the majority of which are kinetic in nature.  My sculptural pieces are made entirely out of wire, primarily steel bailing wire, also known as tie-wire.  I have found that it has the best properties for my art, stiff enough to be used for structural components yet malleable enough for detail work.

Over the course of the next few days, I will be posting pictures and videos of many of my completed works.  I have yet to work out a set schedule for uploads so expect updates to be sporadic for the first few weeks while I sort everything out.  In the interim, don't be a stranger, please sign the guestbook and check back in a week or so, by which time I should have at least three sculptures featured in the gallery, with more to come soon thereafter.

If you like my work, please don't hesitate to shoot a friendly e-mail my way, the same too if you have a critique, but please keep it constructive.

Also, much of my work is for sale. If you like a piece and want to own it: put, "Purchase," in the subject heading, and specify in the e-mail which piece you are interested in.  Do bear in mind that my pieces are one of a kind, and buyers will be entertained on a first come, first served basis.  This said, if you would like to commission a wire sculpture: type, "Commissioned Piece," into the subject line, and include a detailed description of what you want me to make.  Finally, if you think up an idea for a sculpture, but aren't wanting to make a purchase: write, "Something I'd like to see," in the subject heading and a description in the body, or just leave a comment in the guestbook.

Have fun looking through my sculptures, and enjoy your stay.
