EACH OF OUR PIECES IS BUILT ON THE PLATFORM OF THE “PEACE” SYMBOL. MANY OF THE ITEMS ARE MADE ENTIRELY OF NAILS—THE TYPE YOU CAN BUY AT THE HARDWARE STORE. I USE A COMBINATION OF 8-26 GUAGE NAILS AND BARN SPIKES. THE OTHER PIECES ARE DESIGNED USING STAINLESS STEEL WHICH IS CUT FROM LARGE SHEETS USING A MILLER PLASMA CUTTING TORCH
I AM CAPTIVATED BY THE IDEA OF TAKING A STRAIGHT, SHARP, PIERCING OBJECT AND TURNING IT INTO A ROUNDED SYMBOL OF PEACE, WHETHER IT BE A WALL OR GARDEN ART SCULPTURE, PEACE NAIL MARCHER, KILLER WAVE PEACE SURFER OR ONE OF KÄREN’S PEACE BRACELETS WITH WATCHFUL EYES.


THOUGH THE SYMBOL ITSELF APPEARS SIMPLE, THE PEACE SIGNS TAKE HOURS TO CREATE AND REFINE. THE LARGER PIECES TAKE LONGER AND ARE A BIT MORE COMPLICATED IN TERMS OF REPLICATING THE HUMAN FORM. THE SYMBOLS, LIKE THE CONCEPT THEY REPRESENT, REQUIRE CARE AND TENDING AND ARE NOT CREATED QUICKLY OR EASILY.

OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GLOBE SIT ON THE PRECIPICE OF MANY DANGEROUS CHASMS. WE CAN NOT SOLVE THESE DANGERS QUICKLY OR EASILY. THE SOLUTIONS WILL COME WITH CARE, TENDING AND INTENTION. WE HAVE SEEN, BUT HAVE FAILED TO LEARN THAT GREED, WARS AND HATE NOT ONLY KILL, BUT DAMAGE EACH OF US AS OCCUPIERS OF THIS PLANET. WE NOW HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, WITH OUR NEW LEADERSHIP IN PRESIDENT OBAMA, OF BEGINNING THE TRANSITION TO BECOMING A MORE PEACEFUL HUMANITY. MY HOPE IS THAT THE SYMBOL THAT MY SCULPTURES, PEACE PEOPLE AND KÄREN’S BRACELETS REPRESENT, WILL PROVIDE PERIODIC REMINDERS THAT WE EACH HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY, AS STEWARDS OF THIS PLANET AND KEEPERS OF EACH OTHER, TO BECOME MORE PEACEFUL AND LESS GREEDY WITH THE EARTH’S NATURAL RESOURCES, OURSELVES AND EACH OTHER.

I SUPPORT T. BOONE PICKENS AND HIS “PICKEN’S PLAN” TO REDUCE OUR DEPENDANCE ON FOREIGN OIL AND NON RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES. BOONE PICKENS HAS THREE OF MY NAIL WIND SCULPTURES. PLEASE VISIT BOONE’S WEBSITE AND CONSIDER JOINING THE PICKENS ARMY. http://www.pickensplan.com/theplan/



I AM ALSO PROUD TO REVEAL THAT WE HAVE SHARED OUR MESSAGE AND PROVIDED MICHELLE OBAMA, OPRAH WHINFREY AND RACHEL MADDOW WITH OUR PEACE BRACELETS AS OUR GIFT.
FINALLY, SOME OF MY WORK IS CURRENTLY ON DISPLAY IN PHOENIX AT THE GALLERY “PRACTICAL ART” ON CENTRAL AVENUE. PLEASE VISIT THEIR WEB SITE: PRACTICAL-ART.COM

I HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PEACE JEWELRY, METAL WALL AND GARDEN ART AND SCULPTURES PRESENTED IN THESE PAGES. TAKE A GANDER THRU MY GALLERY AND BLOG. I WOULD BE PLEASED TO DISCUSS CREATING ANY THESE SCULPTURES AND NAIL PEOPLE FOR OTHERS WHO HAVE AN INTEREST IN OUR WORK. I WILL OF COURSE WORK WITH YOU TO DESIGN AND CREATE ANY TYPE OF WALL OR GARDEN METAL SCULPTURE YOU MAY BE INTERESTED IN.
IF YOU DO HAVE AN INTEREST IN OWNING ONE OF OUR PIECES OR COMMISSIONING YOUR OWN UNIQUE SCULTPTURE, PLEASE DO CONTACT ME AT: PEACEFULMETALMAN @AOL.COM
PEACE,
