Q:
Can you describe the process in creating your 12x12 piece?
Owen:
I am utilizing the cubic space of 12″ X 12″ to create a steel sculpture. The
process involves cutting steel rods, grinding, polishing and welding. From
start to finish it takes about 35 hours.

Q:
What was the inspiration for this work?
Owen:
I was inspired by the 12" x 12" dimensions and how that space could
become a simplistic yet dynamic optical illusion.
Q:
Is there a particular medium you are currently drawn to?
Owen:
Steel. It is a powerful, energetic and durable medium. Working with steel is a
primal activity. The physicality of the labor involved makes me feel balanced.
