Eric Hado is an artist and technician living and working in New York’s Hudson Valley. Inspired by nature and world around, he creates one of a kind sculpture open to multiple interpretations. Hudson River driftwood is often the starting point, which is then expanded upon with repurposed metals and materials, using his blacksmith and metal working skills. Old welding rods get converted to flowing curves, pulsing Moire circles, and feathers on bird wings. 150 year old landscaping iron is forged into plants and set into an amorphous driftwood base. Eric constantly seeks out new techniques and materials and thus his work has continued to evolve beautifully over the last twenty years.
