What is bendweld?

Traveling for work as a welder, I was in and out of scrap yards all over the country. I saw so much waste that, to me, seemed like discarded art. I felt like it needed a second chance and believed I could bring it back to life. Not knowing it at the time, this was the beginning of my process.

I continued to travel the country, honing my skills, learning new techniques and working in various industrial settings. I was inspired once again.  This time by structural steel; cut, formed and welded into industrial architecture.  It allowed me to get my hands on some really cool steel that, to them, was garbage but to me was a coffee table, a lamp...art.

Whether it is scrap or a brand new piece of steel, everything I design and create is a little taste of every part of my journey put into form.
