Steel, cypress, bronze 9' x 4' x 3'John Dawes, Anderson, SC
I am a large-scale kinetic metal sculptor fascinated with overkill and the inner workings of things. I like heavy steel as opposed to light. I seem to include a sort of narrative humor. I enjoy the fact that my pieces dwarf me. I incorporate wheels into my pieces frequently because, to me, being a sculptor truly is like being in a carnival with all the elements of a traveling troupe. So, the pickup truck's wheels cannot be dismissed as trivial, but worshipped as life.
