Sculptor Michael Metcalf will talk about his work fabricating distinctive metal, stone and wood forms. Sculptures vary in size from tabletop to outdoor installations. He creates works for public and private commissions, some as large as 30' tall. Western New Mexico University recently held a dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremony in honor of the university's newest and largest public sculpture, Collaboration: The Student's Journey.
Mr. Metcalf has been teaching Sculpture at the WNMU Expressive Arts Department since 1995 and is now collaborating with several former students with Made In Silver City - Gallery at the Murray Hotel.
