Personal Statement

• Sculptors James and Ryan Pedersen are a father/son collaborative team who create welded constructions in relief and free-standing form. The combinations of steel, brass, and copper are used in most designs. The earthy colors and textures are achieved through welding, cutting, grinding and heat-treating these materials. The finished artwork illustrates their combined passion for the outdoor environment as an artistic selection of these elements with a stylized approach that is related to various interpretations of the modern landscape.

Sculpture Statement

• Inspired by the ideas of how the new seedling is both anchored and light. As it ascends and opens toward the sky, it suggests an unfolding reach—steady, deliberate, and unforced. Embodying both stability and openness.
