Duncan Sherwood-Forbes is a multimedia artist and designer specializing in wire and figurative metalwork. Sherwood-Forbes began drawing from life in 2002 at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in his hometown of Lincoln, MA. He was introduced to wire in 2005 at the Putney School for the Arts summer program in Vermont, when he was shown Alexander Calder's Circus. Already in love with line, he immediately fell in love with the ability of wire to draw in space, and went on to study sculpture at the Sam Fox School of Art and Design at Washington University in St. Louis.

Sherwood-Forbes uses wire to investigate the boundary between sculpture and drawing, using sinuous curving lines to draw through the air and carve negative space into figures and portraits. His topics are almost always figurative, filtering the outside world through his eye and hand. The wire acts as boundary that tells the viewer “this part of the air is part of the sculpture” and “this part of the air is not.”

With work ranging from the minuscule to larger than life, Sherwood-Forbes’ work has brought joy to collectors for almost 20 years.

I'm very excited to be debuting a new series of larger than life outdoor sculptures, entitled "Guardians." When placed in situ, these thick steel drawings serve as protectors: of the home, the yard, the spirit. Wrought in 3/8 steel and powedercoated, they will survive any weather and ensure the space around them remains in harmony.

Along with this new series, I will be bringing my classics: wall based and freestanding portraits and figures, along with still lives and a few micro-sculptures.
