David Eisenhour

Pacific Northwest sculptor David Eisenhour interprets the organic, magnifying plant and animal forms with his free-standing and wall-mounted bronzes. Through his artistic processes Eisenhour tells stories of natural history and human experience. Sculpted kelp and seaweed forms anchor themselves to found objects, such as rocks, an old gas pump, a keyhole, an antique multiwrench, a horseshoe, and other castoffs. Their fusion reminds us of the impacts of human activity on the natural world. These bronze and found-object works are accompanied by a multitude of bronze barnacles and limpets. Their larger-than-life size makes for a fascinating and slightly surreal visual exploration of their protective shells. Eisenhour’s artistic vision reflects his lifelong inquiries and documentation of the forms and beauty in nature, as well as issues related to the environment.
