About this artwork
Monica explores our connections to our past, to our families, to our culture, to our personalities. As much as we try to escape those ties, they are always there, guiding us or holding us back.

« This is what I am trying to do. Let the metal move. Explore the forms it takes of skin, bone, water and stone but also coax it into joinery. »
American artist Monica Coyne spent most of her life not knowing what a blacksmith was, before finally becoming one in her forties. Coyne views herself as
a collaborator with the steel itself- she is able to shape it with a hammer and tooling, but maintains that the steel always surprises her. Coupling traditional forging techniques with contemporary ideas, Coyne lives and works entirely off the grid using a small solar and hydroelectric system. Coyne's sculptures are elegant, dynamic, and compellingly asymmetrical.
