Scott Gordon, Altar II, 2021
By Scott Gordon
Located in Sharon, VT
Altar II
Welded steel and found metal components
23 18.5 x 5in.
This compact yet expressive steel sculpture evokes a sense of watchful presence and poised stillness. Constructed from welded and repurposed industrial fragments, Altar II assembles a seemingly abstract figure atop a rectangular base. A gently arched form with an affixed ring suggests a head in profile—open-eyed and alert—while a curved appendage anchors the composition with an anthropomorphic grace. Deeply evocative, the work explores gesture through geometry, invoking the timeless ritual of silent observation.
Measures: 5 x 18.5 x 23 in.
Artist statement:
I seldom use stock material, but prefer distressed and rusted steel that has been scarred, bent, and made imperfect. In this state, the material becomes quite beautiful. There are figurative elements in my work, though I am more drawn to the non-figurative, to the raw and essential aspect of steel. The Industrial purpose of steel must be considered, its use in construction, manufacturing, the military. Steel is forged with enormous energy and power. The process is violent, loud. Here, it is still and approachable.
The compositions are constructed mainly from found parts. Their relationships manifest as I interact with the material. The pieces interlock, balance, and become fitted before I fasten or weld them together. The engineering is elemental. Altering the material is avoided. The number of parts kept to a minimum.
Art is my spiritual exercise, my selflessness. It identifies me as a creator and satisfies my human longing for place and purpose. It needs not to be great, or preeminent, or commercial. Art speaks because it is Primitive. It exists because it is sacred.

Bio
Born in Indiana, Jim Rose lived in Europe until he returned to the United States to attend college. After one year at Bard College, Jim transferred to the School of the Art Institute in Chicago (SAIC) where he graduated in 1988 with a BFA. His skillful interpretation of the Shaker design is a result of intense research and field study of Shaker furniture, architecture, culture and history. After over two decades of dedicated work, he has mastered the minimalism of the Shaker technique and created his own unique visual vernacular. The quilts of Gee's Bend have become a monumental influence taking this artist's work to new levels of unique interpretation and artistry. His selection of aged steel results in a patina directly related to that of aged wood while his colored strips beautifully mimic worn cloth. Each piece of furniture is masterfully made and intended for daily use. Jim Rose’s steel furniture is featured every year at SOFA Chicago for the past 25 years.

Scott Gordon, Odyssey, 2021
By Scott Gordon
Located in Sharon, VT
Odyssey
welded steel
Measures: 18.5 x 19 x 18 in.
Rooted in industrial materiality and abstract expression, Odyssey invites the viewer into a narrative of motion and emergence. A spiraling steel ribbon unfurls around a central, columnar form—ribbed and machined with mechanical precision—suggesting a journey inward or upward. A sharp, angular plane rises nearby like a sentinel or waypoint, introducing tension and verticality. The contrast of machined and hand-forged surfaces echoes the balance between human intention and mechanical force. With a commanding presence on its rough-edged steel base, Odyssey reflects on structure, evolution, and the persistence of form through time.

Scott Gordon, Succession, 2021
By Scott Gordon
Located in Sharon, VT
Succession
welded steel
Measures: 6-1/4 x 13-1/2 x 5-1/2 in.
This minimalist steel sculpture features a rhythmic progression of three arching forms, each rising from a shared rectangular base. Varying slightly in scale and curvature, the arcs evoke a sense of motion—like a wave cresting and falling, or stages in a structural evolution. The oxidized surfaces lend a rich patina, highlighting the tactile character of the metal and the passage of time.
Balancing repetition with variation, the work engages the viewer through its quiet presence and industrial materiality. It is at once architectural and organic, a study in form, balance, and endurance.
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.

Scott Gordon, Venus, 2021
By Scott Gordon
Located in Sharon, VT
Venus
welded steel
Measures: 12-1/2 x 17-1/2-37 in.
This vertical steel sculpture presents a commanding, almost anthropomorphic figure, assembled from industrial components and softened by age-worn patina. A central oval form anchors the piece—suggesting a torso—while angular extensions imply limbs or mechanical appendages. The upward-reaching element at the top introduces a sense of gesture or alertness, reinforcing the piece’s totemic quality.
Sturdy yet expressive, the work balances raw materiality with suggestive figuration. Its posture hints at motion held in pause, evoking associations with tools, guardians, or relics of an unknown past.

Scott Gordon, Portal, 2021
By Scott Gordon
Located in Sharon, VT
Portal
welded steel
Measures: 8.5 x 12.5 x 17.5 in.
This abstract steel sculpture explores the balance between solidity and openness. A vertical arm rises from an irregularly shaped base, terminating in a cantilevered form that projects outward. The composition is simple yet evocative, suggesting movement or transition—an architectural gesture frozen in time. Surface textures, visible welds, and the rawness of the metal emphasize the hand of the maker and the industrial origins of the material.
The work invites contemplation of spatial tension, negative space, and the quiet power of restraint. Both grounded and reaching, it speaks to themes of structure, memory, and impermanence.

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.
