Paint My Words

Artist: Corry at Silver City Iron

Commentary: Once in awhile it is worth noting an artist who works in forms other than paint and canvas. Corry is one of those artists. I have been following his work for the last few months, and slowly watched the rise in his product line. Corry builds beautiful hand forged furniture and sculpture using traditional blacksmithing techniques.  I am particularly fond of his joinery skills and the apparent craftsmanship of each piece. The wine barrel side table he made reminds me of a similar piece that I finished myself a few years back.  His work however is better.  The works function as both artistic centerpieces and functional sculpture.  If you are in the mood for some modern day furniture with an eclectic appeal than his works are worth viewing.
