A Second Chance

Monument to Industry

My latest show.

"A Second Chance"

will feature over 40 new 

pieces of sculpture.

Dark Ruins

Contrivance #1

These pieces are created from

the discarded items of modern industry.

I've taken found pieces of scrap metal

and collected parts of old machinery

and given them a second chance at life

as new pieces of art.

Miniatures by Dan

 I've begun a new series of sculpture that I'm calling

"Miniatures by Dan"

These are small pieces.

They range in size from 2" to "8 in height.

Thus will be an ongoing series.

Torso

"Torso"

A sculpture created from a piece

that I found along the railroad tracks.

I'm not sure of its origins, 

but I believe it may be part of a coupler.

This piece exhibits strength and power.

It has many gouges and has been broken.

It must have experienced  tremendous forces that

twisted and gouged much character into its being.

This sculpture actually created itself. 

It was just waiting for someone to see it for what it really was.

I'm pleased to have been a part of its destiny.

"torso" can be purchased here.

Lefty Loosey - Righty Tighty

Lefty Loosey and Righty Tighty

  are my two newest wall hangings.

The titles come from an old mechanic's saying.

When someone was unsure which way to turn a screw, the

mechanic would say "lefty loosey, righty tighty"

Lefty - Loosey

Righty - Tighty

These two pieces prominently feature tools that turn-

wrenches, screwdrivers, drill bits, etc.

Detail  -  Lefty-Loosey

Detail  -  Righty-Tighty

They are on the larger side, measuring 24" in diameter by 40" in height.

comporre`

Created from objects found and collected on the highways of southern New Jersey,

comporre` is a sculpture that presents a compelling vision.

The heavy center piece, 

combined with the attached chain, 

(just as it was found), evokes a sense of strength.
The circle attempts to keep that strength within bounds,
but the chain escapes those bounds and roots the entire piece to the earth.

Suitable for indoor or outdoor display,

indoor is preferred.

It has not been coated or sealed in any way.

All the components are in their found condition,

except for some sharp edges that have been removed.

.

The chain is free to move and can be rearranged to create a variety of views.

de'monte'

De'monte' 

is a minimalist abstract sculpture.

This sculpture, excluding the base is comprised of only four elements.

Three of those elements are simple geometric shapes, 

a square, a rectangle, and a circle.

The fourth element, a free form rusty metal rod, 

is what brings movement and depth to the piece.

This is a relatively small piece,

measuring only 14" in height.
