Patrick Pierce
metal/wood

Patrick Pierce relocated his studio to lowell massachusetts.
he has done one man shiws in and group shows in NYC venues.
he uses different textures to show what he is thinking of. this is
a sculpture of an upside down tree. the part with the jumble of
metal is the roots. he uses texture to show the roughness and
the wiggles of the roots. i think he used certain toosl like hole
punches and blowtorch to makle the piece dark and to bend
the metal into the shape he wanted it to be. in the sculpture
you can see he uses most of the texture at the top where the
roots would be.
