James Kitchen has been welding scrap metal into sculpture for ten years, and continues to gain recognition in the world of fine arts, selling to an ever widening circle of collectors nationwide. All of the metal in his sculptures come from local farms, antique stores, auctions, and occasionally a neighbor who leaves a pile of interesting objects in Kitchen’s driveway. Kitchen has a powerful sense of creativity and a nonstop passionate drive, which turns those piles into incredible works of art. He uses nature to mature and nurture his sculptures into the finest rust patina and does little else to alter the metal. “I feel part historian and part archeologist, creating new life,” he says. “In my heart I feel this is my calling in life....everything I have done leads up to this.” "Einstein's Onion", welded metal and found objects, 9'tall.
