Propeller basket in steel with brass washers and rivets.
Rob Glebe’s works are inspired by classical vessel forms. Through the use of positive and negative space, unusual materials and colors, his pieces take on a fresh, original slant.
He works primarily in mild steel, which is typically shaped by hammer, then tig welded from the inside for a clean look. The above piece is an exception; rivets form the joinery.
Glebe’s path to sculpture was by way of careers as a toolmaker, boat builder and furniture maker. Since 2006 he has been working full time on fabricating these type of metal works.
