Ted Hinman: Sowing the Seeds of Life

Ted Hinman, Statue of Liberty

Recently, Hinman was contemplating what direction his new works could take. He was drawn to create a series of works influenced by the indigenous art of Polynesian outrigger canoes. A blacksmith by trade, by using this canoe-like shape, he began to experiment with missing mediums, such as color, shape, texture and the blending of wood and iron. Hinman has taken this concept a step further by adding plant life. Creating the chalice for a piece titled “Plymouth Rock”, gave him the idea to create chalices for plant life for many of the sculptural pieces.
