Harold Kimmelman

I strive to portray a spirit and an energy flux in sculpture. I work with metal, and choose to transform it from a static, heavy mass to an animated presence pulsing with energy, alive with movement.

                      

I prefer to work directly with metal, developing shapes by heat and pressure, tension and compression. Tool marks and welds are revealed (as brush strokes in a painting) only when they add to the aesthetics of the sculpture, otherwise my tendency is to polish it to a mirror like finish.

                      

This way of working preserves the metal's intrinsic properties, unlike casting which replicates a clay or wax preliminary model.
