Creating contemporary metal sculpture is a continuous lesson in humility. A sculptor would like to believe he is in charge of the creative process, but stainless steel seems to have a mind of its own. The steel is unforgiving and rigid in its mindset, and for this we must be thankful. Consider for a moment what the world would look like without this fabulously strong metal!

, or any other design project for that matter, has a natural dynamic, a natural force, and thus the majority of his works are three elements. Four elements take a special design to make it strong and not repetitive, bringing the dynamics of space into the design that doesn’t come naturally. Kevin, as an experienced sculptor, accomplishes this. One of Kevin’s greatest joys in life is being in the studio creating and this is where a new piece comes into play.
