About your hosts:
Duncan Sherwood-Forbes
Is a Los Angeles-based multimedia artist and designer specializing in wire and figurative metalwork, living and working in the Bay Area until the end of 2024. Since 2006, Sherwood-Forbes has used 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.
He has taught unique workshops in wire sculpture, drawing, and ceramics, ranging from 1 hour to 5 days, at locations up and down the California coast.
