Gavin Worth Wire Sculpting

Self-taught artist, illustrator and designer Gavin Worth first became interested in wire sculpting after seeing an exhibit onAlexander Calder at the SFMoMA. Since then, he’s created his own set of amazing pieces that are both beautiful and moving.

“By bending black wire into something of freestanding line drawings, I create sculptures that engage the viewer by involving them in their subtle changes,” Worth says. “When the light in the room shifts, so does the mood of the piece. A breeze might softly move an arm. My wire sculptures tell stories of simple human moments: a woman adjusting her hair, a face gazing from behind tightly wrapped arms, a mother gently cradling her baby. The honest, unguarded moments are the ones that I find to be the most beautiful.”
