Life in Lines Series by...

Roy Mackey

     Here are works from my new series Life in Lines. These are just a continuation of steel "paintings" I started doing back in 1995. Each piece is an abstract expression of some aspect of life done in welded lines. A welded line is like a thumbprint and like life no two are the same. It would even be impossible to create one inch of weld line to match another inch. The variables involved in the process are almost infinite. The earliest of this series goes back to 1995. 

     For some reason these pieces are very hard to photograph in order to capture their true essence. Some of my work is quite easy to capture the feel of the work. Especially my very small works... the stainless series and these seem to be almost impossible. What you see here is only a minor reflection of them compared to in person.


This page is under construction and will be updated shortly as I get photos that are good.... enough.
