I studied sculpture for two years. I was greatly inspired by my teacher who graduated from Harvard. He knew how to bring out the best in people and gave good direction. Half of the shop was an assembly area. The other side was welding. I was scared to try it but I forced myself not to give up. I learned the most basic welding techniques and went from there. I am not certified or anything. For this piece I tried something different. I took a sheet of metal and tried to think of it like a canvas. I used my paint brush (welding instrument/gun) and thought of the holes and streaks as brush strokes.
