LINE ART
Ben creates his artwork using traditional blacksmithing tools and techniques. He describes his “Line Art” as an image broken down to its simplest elements, a series of lines. Ben’s form of Line Art is hand forged from steel, bronze and brass. These hanging wall sculptures use light and shadow to create an ever-changing image.
Functional ironwork such as fireplace doors, furniture and door hardware, are among some of Ben’s other specialties.
