Our Sculptors

John O'Rourke MRSS

I work primarily in Corten Steel or bronze for outdoor sculptures and oak or bronze for indoors pieces. I also create mixed medium works and paintings. Some of my art combines sculptural and photographic processes. The sculptures have interconnected interiors, with hidden objects and cyphered occult texts within.
