Stÿll Artist Profile

Dave McCord


   

"I heat the metal in a coal fire as hot as I dare. This causes the bonds between the crystals to loosen so they will slide across each other when I hit the steel.

The material that I use is called "mild steel". It relates to iron or wrought iron in much the same way that a CD relates to a record or an LP. It is considered "new" material, but it contains mostly recycled material.

I see myself as a craftsman first in that I enjoy the process as much as anything. I get satisfaction from making tools. I have seen tools that demonstrated as much creativity as some art work.

Even after seven years of professional work I am still discovering nuances, and understanding them promotes a fearlessness in the work."
