Bill Heise Abstract Sculptures

Large 6' metal abstract modernist sculpture by Bill Heise, rotates 360 degrees, hand executed, stunning exterior or interior, hand delivery avail to New York City or anywhere en route from Buffalo NY The pieces are crafted from turn-of-the-century farm equipment collected from the fields of Vermont, maritime parts salvaged from around the Bay Area, and railroad components, antique tools, and other vintage metal found throughout America. The delicate lines and whimsical nature of Heise sculptures often defy the rugged origins of each component part. Railroad spikes, plough discs, pitchforks, shovel blades, and a myriad of other parts are transformed into birds in flight, cows out to pasture, tropical fish, and a variety of other wildlife forms. And there's always an interesting story behind each piece, be it the eighty something farmer who helped me retrieve equipment from the "back forty," frozen hands from digging a hay rake out of the snow, long worn-away imprints of the manufacturer's name on the part of some machine, or stumbling across old windmill blades to create a Don Quixote sculpture.
