Metal Wordsmith

Arts District's David Buckingham uses found metal objects as raw material to muscle them into works of art using a "bewildering array of power tools and sheer force of will."  His metal sculptures document iconography and typography shaped with discarded products of industry––sheets of metal, road signs, car doors. Only the colors of the painted metal are left as is. 

Like myself, he was raised on the rants and words of George Carlin and sculpted this homage last year.  He passed it along in the spirit of a fellow Carlin fan. It's worth sharing.  It's the ""Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" as sculpture.
