 Artist Statement
Fabricated steel sculpture can be very graphical in it's
appearance. Typically, I build from mild steel and found
objects. The tools that I use are oxyacetylene cutting torch,
5000 rpm steel grinder and an electric arc welder. With these
basic tools many prospective artifacts can be created. Industrial
processes are combined with aescetic judgement.
I allow my
sculptures to oxidize to a rich, rusty brown. I love the
aged look.
Architectural and functional works are often commissioned.
These include furniture, gates and panels. My work transcends
typical architectural iron. The pieces I fabricate are unique
artworks.
Rockfish Sculpture are an 'open-ended' series which consists
of a natural surf tumbled stone encased in a fabricated steel
fish shape. As every individual stone is unique, each rockfish
is a species unto itself.
Most of Warren's work is by commission only. Customers should
be willing to wait approx. 9-12 months for completed commission.
A special collection is created each year for the Festival
of the Arts in Laguna Beach each summer and some older pieces
are available. Please call for pricing and more info.
