Artist’s Statement Weekly I travel to scrap metal yards throughout California, looking for interesting pieces of steel. When I find something special I grab it and take it back to my studio. It may take me only moments, or many months discover what that piece wants or needs to become, then I fulfill its destiny. My creative process emerges with patterns. I incorporate patterns into all my sculpture. Taking one piece of steel, adding to it, or deleting from it, then ending when the sculpture encompasses all of my creativity, this is what charges up my artistic energies. When my creative force is flowing, I work on a sculpture to completion. It is finished when the creative flow ends. My aspiration is to create unique sculpture, something that no one has done before. I resist conformity and mass production. My art is as individual as I am. Thank you, Jeff Owen
