Natural Alterations
Artist Statement:
This sculpture was developed by the observations of how we set up limitations in our own environment that can limit our views. If we can take a look at what is around us in varying perspectives, we can have the ability to see new and often contrasting views and ideas.
About Ryan and James Pedersen
Sculptors James and Ryan Pedersen are a father/son collaborative team who create welded constructions in relief and free standing form. The combinations of steel, brass, and copper are used in most designs. The earthy colors and textures are achieved through welding, cutting, grinding and heat-treating these materials.
The finished artwork illustrates their combined passion for the outdoor environment as an artistic selection of these elements with a stylized approach that is related to various interpretations of the modern landscape.
