Contemporary Abstract Mixed Media Sculpture by Scott Gordon (Bird I, 2009)
About the Item
Bird I
sheet metal, wood, and found objects
31 x 12 x 8 in.
Bird stands as a figure in a state of quiet awareness. A vertical line rises from a grounded base. At its center, a single oval suggests a body. At the top, a ring or aperture implies vision, perception, or presence.The form resists flight but carries its possibility. It holds stillness that feels intentional, as if waiting or remembering. The sculpture does not describe a bird, but it evokes one—a presence more than a creature.Through restraint and clarity, Bird becomes an object of contemplation. It marks a threshold between matter and meaning, rooted in form but reaching beyond it.
Artist Statement
I work with materials that have already lived a life — steel that’s rusted, bent, scarred. These imperfections hold a kind of quiet beauty, one that speaks not of utility but of presence. Though my work sometimes carries figurative echoes, I’m drawn to the non-figurative: the essential, the raw. Steel, once loud and forceful in its industrial context, becomes still and intimate in this new form.Each composition emerges through direct interaction with found parts. I rarely alter the materials beyond what is necessary. Instead, I allow them to dictate form — interlocking, balancing, and aligning until their relationship feels complete. The process is intuitive, the engineering elemental.Art, for me, is a spiritual act — a practice of selflessness and stillness. It doesn't seek acclaim or commercial appeal. It simply exists, honest and sacred.
Biography
Scott Gordon (b. 1966, Ridgewood, NJ) lives and works in Vermont. He studied business at the University of Denver and earned an MFA in creative writing from the University of Washington. During his time in Seattle, he worked at David Gulassa Company, a fabrication shop specializing in custom furniture and architectural fixtures. There, he began sculpting with scrap metal salvaged from the studio and surrounding industrial zones — material that continues to define his practice.Gordon’s work reflects a deep respect for process, material memory, and the integrity of form. Influenced by artists such as David Smith, Anthony Caro, and Richard Stankiewicz, his sculptures explore the tension between strength and stillness, construction and poetry.
