Robert has an inherent eye for balance and structure. His finished pieces dance their own dance, moving and flowing within their own rhythm.
Utilizing aluminum, steel, or stainless steel and some touches of bronze. Each piece begins with a working drawing that is transferred to the metal. The material is laid out and cut either by a saw or a plasma torch. The individual pieces of the puzzle are then assembled by arc welding. Next the piece is ground and sanded to a fine finish with power and hand tools. Finally the piece is sprayed with an automotive clear coat for a natural finish, automotive acrylic enamels for color, or a brushed patina. The materials and finishes employed have proven their longevity over the years, requiring little to no maintenance in either an interior or exterior setting. |
