Artists'
Statement:
"I
appreciate the history of this craft and I am grateful to have been
given this medium to express myself. It is a constant adventure
to take hard,
inert material, to manipulate it as
if it were a piece
of clay, and bring it to life.
Nature
is the greatest catalyst for my work, and as I live in a rural setting,
the natural world is intertwined with my existence. I am drawn to
explore my setting through hiking, gathering, and photographing
in the hills
and hollows near my home, and am constantly searching for new shapes
and forms to integrate into my work."
"I hope
to convey the essence of how I live and create, and to allow the
viewer to experience the bonding of nature and art. In all of my
creations, functional and sculptural, my goal is to fashion work that
brings with it a moment of reflection and tranquility. Perhaps living
close to the source as I do helps, but I, the artist, am merely an
interpreter. Ultimately, it is the art-form, the age-old craft of blacksmithing,
that works the magic."
Jeff Fetty
is a resident of Spencer, WV.
