SCULPTORS
Damon Hyldreth
Damon Hyldreth's work stands as a reminder of the connection between man and nature. While the metals he uses are clearly man-made, the result of his collaboration with them is a blurring of the divide between nature and structure, space and form. This results in a strong symbiosis between the formal elements of his sculpture and its surroundings, both architectural and natural. In 2004 Damon received his BFA in Suclpture from San Francisco Art Institute in San Francisco, CA. He works an array of metals such as Cor-ten steel, stainless steel, bronze, andÊcarbon steel. This diversity gives his pieces a varied look.
Damon's work in sculpture is highly linked to the process of transformation. He considers the potential energy of his materials and lures out of them the sensual and organic forces of nature. He blends emotion with form, allowing the work to evolve, probing shapes, investigating their capacity to change. He seeks to reveal the nature of the material, allowing it to take on a life of its own
