Sculpture by Robert Onnes

My sculpture is created from steel or copper plate. These materials forge into substantial forms and yet they display an earthy, organic quality. The techniques I've developed to design and produce this work are hard won. I believe these sculptures are unique in their construction; although they look solid or cast, they are made from metal plate.

I'm very interested in how the constraints of working with flat sheet impact on the design process and the style of the finished object. This is what I think makes my work unique and distinctive.
