The metal and glass sculpture of Brian Russell require a high degree of technical expertise to construct. Brian is one of only a few sculptors in the world to have the depth of knowledge to be able to combine both a lost wax glass casting operation and metal forging and fabrication in one studio. By personally working with the materials and techniques on a daily basis he maintains strict control of the results. Constant technical progress helps to keep his vision clear and freah, his sculptures lively and energetic.
