Mary Phillips & Eddie Phillips

Mary and Eddie Phillips are emerging artists who create sculpture from found steel pipe of various diameter and gauge. Each piece is personally selected and gathered from a Texas oil and gas industry refuse site, cut into rings, polished to a desired patina, and then welded into place. This hard geometry is visually balanced by the inclusion of organic elements: naturally shaped hardwoods and/or reflective glass forms. In keeping with the artists’ commitment to tranform objects which have been discarded into works of beauty and use, these materials also come solely from local, recycled sources.
