Meet the Artist- Austin Ash
As a forty-five year old native of the U.P., Austin Ash has been producing metal sculptures for over six years. Using mostly found or discarded materials that have spent their first lives serving a simple mechanical purpose, Austin finds joy in re birthing them as aesthetic puzzle pieces of a sculpture. There are times, as Austin has said, just one piece will dictate the entire direction of the project, almost as if it builds itself.
