Patterns known as fractals are a natural progression of internal forces under pressure, finding a way to merge or release. Jerry McCarty has been expressing his insights of the fractal phenomena as a single stoke on canvas, an emerging wooden spine in the Laminate series, and as welded metal sculptures using tetrahedrons as building blocks. For him the tetrahedron is the smallest and strongest form with the most diverse potential for directional change of any natural design.

Spencer’s creations represent mystical and complex designs found in the natural world. His use of steel, bronze and precious metals allow him to make realistic representations of these natural designs. Such as biological formations from the desert in Arizona, beautifully articulated sea urchins from our deep waters, and a new take on trilobites from the prehistoric world.
