STEPHEN HIRT
Stephen Hirt is intrigued by the ability of material to convey meanings.
Hirt creates one of a kind, site-specific pieces for public, private, and liturgical spaces. These pieces are inspired by their surroundings and respond to the challenges of each unique site. The inherited characteristics of a place drive his choice of materials and lead him to choose an appropriate process that together with the material combines to convey a concept within that site.
Besides his own work, Hirt welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with artists, architects, designers, and clients in creating specific projects. His knowledge of bronze casting, mold making, glass blowing, kiln casting, and metal smithing allow him to richly add to the dialogue between maker and object.
