Indoor Metal

"Often I create sculptures in a group or series based on a poetic narrative. The pieces suggest a mood or tone rather than tell a story.

The organic factor remains important.
I look for volumes, edges, transitional points, movements from one shape into another. Nature lays all that out and directs me."

David Boyajian tells the story
of Persephone in the underworld
and her rebirth with six steel
sculptures. This work is
about darkness and
intense light.

"Color brings out a vitality and freshness to my forms. By marking their surfaces with gesture they become more than just painted sculptures. This has further defined a recurring theme within my work, the cycle of life, from turmoil to dormancy and then to rebirth."

"I've found many ways of fabricating sculpture, whether cold forging which is hammering the metal directly, braising the surface for texture or using patterned pieces to fabricate volumetric masses, I actually model the metal to construct my sculpture."

"When working on
commissioned projects,
I create maquettes that I
can scale up. This allows for
a precise dialogue between
the client and myself. I keep
the models from the projects
that go forward as a visual
record and exhibit
the others."
