Harry Kooy - wire sculpture

Harry Kooy , Wire Sculpture

Artist statement
My art started with a simple twist of wire in the summer of 2011. When I work with wire my hands generate ideas on their own. If I'm lucky my head catches up and I can finish the piece. I hope that as long as my hands can work I will never run out of creative energy. I make unique, thoughtful and sometimes fun art pieces using wire, stone, wood, and copper. My work grows out of inspiration from nature, mechanical movement, and fantasy. Like a growing plant my projects weave in many unpredictable directions. I hope to make what people will enjoy and I am eager to share my work.

Artist Bio
Harry has recently retired from working as an auto mechanic. Before fixing cars he taught highschool biology and chemistry. Throughout his working life he has always been involved with creative activities. Harry enjoyed building play props for highschool drama productions, designing and flying model airplanes, making puppets, and making short animated films. His most enduring and primary interest is making wire art and kinetic sculptures. He is enjoying the challenge of expanding his involvement in making art.
