Fascinating Amalgamations

“I create animal sculptures using various “found metal” objects like old watches, sprockets, nuts and bolts. The stranger the piece of metal the better, since the end goal is an eye-catching, fascinating amalgamation of metal with odd nooks and crannies you can explore for hours. I start by welding a frame to make the general shape. Then I weld or braze the metal objects one at a time, to form the outer shell of the sculpture. I use a “blending” technique that leaves no space between the objects, so the sculpture looks solid. This allows me to hide interesting objects all over each piece, which enhances the excitement of discovery. Some of the works are mounted on a hardwood base that I finish with natural oil. I hope people enjoy my works as much as I enjoy creating them.” – Joe Pogan

Lost In Time (Dream
steampunk pendant by Mary Vogel

“If it isn’t fun, I don’t want to make it. I try to be true to myself and only do the art I enjoy. I teach lots of people how to paint, draw and do many various crafts. When I get home from teaching I need to spend my time doing what I’m passionate about. I am surrounded by huge collections of paper, old and new, old silver,fabric, every kind of vintage “junk” you can imagine. That’s what inspires me, and that’s what I like to work with. I hope my work inspires you too.” – Mary Vogel
