Artist: Aiden Dale | Location: Durham, NC
Durham, NC
I am a metal sculptor based in Durham, NC, where I maintain a studio dedicated to my craft.
My work is focused on translating poignant moments, living beings, and organic forms into metal. The resulting sculptures represent my attempt to understand and celebrate the mysteries and complexities of our world. I use heat patinas to create brightly colored forms that mimic the fluid movement we see in the natural world.
My art is informed by my interdisciplinary arts education. At Hampshire College I combined techniques across metal sculpture, woodworking, bookbinding, printmaking, portrait art and jewelry-making to create life-scale immersive installation work. Though I now work primarily in metal, I retain an interest in creating arresting environments that transport the audience.
My work can be seen in many galleries around the U.S., and can be found in private homes and businesses all around the world.
