A Riveting Gun - an artist’s tool
Harley Moore has been a practicing artist for many years, originally as a surrealist painter. In 2012 he moved from painted images to developing a sculpting style using solely aluminum and rivets.
Harley has always had a deep respect for nature. His sculptures help him to negate a perceived tension between the natural and the modern world. Harley sees his sculptures as a kind of juxtaposition. Rather than manipulating natural materials, he uses industrial materials to make representations of nature.
The sculptures are all beaten, riveted and polished by hand with no use of patterns and are treated to last outdoors without corrosion. Every sculpture is one of a kind.
