West loves steel for its strength and resilience combined with versatility. He says you can do anything with it
and it will last. He is also inspired by its captivating history of raw ore forged of fire from the center of the earth.
Every piece of steel he touches has been a part of this planet since its birth and will be until the end. West feels
it is an honor and privilege to give it a form from his imagination. West uses patinas on steel out of his deep
respect for it. He wants to see the natural colors that the steel itself has the potential to yield. West is able to
bring these colors out of the steel without sacrificing the textures he has labored to create.
West moved to Arizona with his family from upstate New York when he was twelve. He was prolific and driven
from a young age and involved himself in a variety of the arts. From sculpting, drawing and painting to music,
acting and special effects make-up; he continues to expand his visions for creating. West started working with
steel as a teenager. He also learned what he could in the field of mechanics and body work as well as
construction, and took these skills back to the world of art.

| “I have been a sculptor all of my life. I love the freedom of mixing mediums. I have worked with almost anything you can think of from clay, plexiglass or fiberglass and wood to concrete, drywall, or steel. Whatever a sculpture needs I can bring it in.” |
