NSG Associate  Don Rambadt, WI

“My sculptural work is rooted primarily in the presentation of form in space. I explore the positive/negative space relationship and how this interplay can be manipulated to give the impression of life and movement to my chosen subjects. Although my work is somewhat abstract, it has a strong basis in anatomical accuracy. I feel it necessary to have an intimate understanding of my subject matter before attempting to abstract it. This allows me to pick and choose which physical characteristics to emphasize or de-emphasize, thus creating a unique visual experience with each completed sculpture.”

​"I sculpt because I enjoy the challenge of manipulating space.  I've chosen birds as my subject matter because they fascinate me to no end"
​

Each sculpture is a one-of-a-kind with its individual pieces cut and shaped by hand, then assembled using a variety of welding and soldering techniques. Working directly in metal allows me to rough in my compositions in a very spontaneous, sketchy manner, which to me is what puts the "life" into a work of art.  Once the core composition and gestural elements are in place, things slow down a bit and the refinement of the form begins.  This is when the sculpture becomes more descriptive, and the character of the subject emerges. Different metals are chosen based on the coloration I can achieve through use of their natural attributes, or the effects that heat and chemical patination will have on them.
 
I have been interested in art since I was a child, but it wasn't until I first put two pieces of metal together in a college sculpture course that I truly found my voice. I have been fortunate to be able to combine my lifelong curiosity towards the natural world with a creative path that allows me to explore my own vision of what is interesting and beautiful.  By continuing to push my own boundaries artistically, I hope to ensure that the journey never ends.
