About the Item
Man
welded steel, found objects
24 x 5 x 4.5 in.
In Man, Scott Gordon distills masculinity into a singular, vertical gesture—spare, elongated, and poised. The form is blade-like and upright, centered around a narrow aperture that suggests tension, vision, or vulnerability. Its linearity evokes resolve and direction, while the understated symmetry implies structure, control, and containment.There’s a ritualistic quality to the figure—fetish-like in its starkness, yet softened by a subtle human presence. Primitive in its abstraction and deliberate in its proportions, Man stands as a symbol of endurance and identity. It is not a figure of dominance, but of quiet force—anchored, observant, and singular in its stance.Together with Woman, it completes a dual study in archetype and abstraction, presence and potential.
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.

Scott Gordon, Monument, 2020
By Scott Gordon
Located in Sharon, VT
Monument
welded steel, found objects
20.5 x 16 x 4 in.
Monument stands as a stark, enigmatic structure—part signal, part shrine. With its twin-columned base and vertical shaft crowned by a cantilevered horizontal arm, the piece recalls ancient markers or industrial relics repurposed for reverence. The form is at once rigid and reaching, grounded yet gestural.Its silhouette suggests a memorial to unseen histories—a tribute to labor, endurance, or forgotten architectures. The off-center balance and weathered presence give it a sense of quiet authority, as though it were a relic unearthed from a future past.With minimalist economy and ritual poise, Monument invites contemplation on permanence, presence, and the symbols we choose to elevate.

Scott Gordon, Man and Woman, 2020
By Scott Gordon
Located in Sharon, VT
Man and Woman
welded steel, found objects
Dimensions: 14 x 24 x 2 in.
Man and Woman is a sculptural meditation on the shared journey of life. Two abstracted figures—one square, one diamond—stand together in a boat, their forms balanced in quiet contrast. They drift along an implied river, evoking a sense of motion, partnership, and endurance.With minimalist clarity and poetic restraint, the work captures the essence of companionship through time. It speaks to the universal rhythm of human connection—the parallel paths, the shared silences, the unseen currents that carry us forward.A timeless expression of unity and passage, Man and Woman invites reflection on life’s unfolding voyage.
