The Art Exhibit “Fabrications” consists of more than 30 sculptural pieces by Lake Forest Park artist Rodger Squirrell.
“The pieces are made primarily from sheet metal. Some are made of the canisters that hold electrodes for welding. They also make use of paper and fabric, steel wire, steel, and stainless steel. I am intrigued by how metal can be organic or very geometric depending on how it emerges from the scrap yard.
"Sometimes the life you give a sculpture is not the life you intended. You’re working in a kind of unknown realm. You have to work slowly and hope that something great emerges. You can only predict things to a certain level. That’s the whole mystery.”
Rodger has honed his skill as a metal craftsman and evolved his artistic vision for over 40 years. He’s also a beloved teacher in the Northwest. His public sculpture “Five By Five” next to Lake Forest Park City Hall is probably familiar to everyone locally. Find out more at metalsquirrell.com
