The Original Inspiration
Adam Homan began his fascination with metal working when he watched Star Wars as a young boy for the very first time. The enormous metallic robots and gleaming metal armor of figures like Darth Vader mesmerized him at first sight. This revolutionary movie magic sparked a yearning in his heart to learn how exactly these robots lived.
The Process
"I begin each piece with a meditation where I close my eyes, clear my mind, breathe and listen. Often I will see a distinct image of the piece come through, sometimes I hear a voice, and occasionally it’s both. When I feel like I’m clear I begin working and let the piece flow through me."
-Adam Homan

The Materials
The artist's choice of mild steel as a primary material provides a sturdy base for the sculptures. Rod steel often serves as the foundation, creating a strong yet adaptable armature upon which the rest of the piece takes shape. The artist demonstrates a resourceful approach by incorporating found objects and cold roll sheet steel to form the body, hair, and other elements. Copper, aluminum, and stainless steel are occasionally used for finer details, adding another layer of complexity to the sculptures.
