Harvey: A Passion For Metal © by KC Moore
Nestled in the sylvan countryside of Northern Pennsylvania is the home and studio of Harvey. I visited this bucolic hideaway on a recent trip. Through my brother, I had an introduction and time to spend in their uniquely artistic abode. Since this is a copper/metal media artist there were obvious home affects like kitchen doors which each were pieces of their ‘framed’ art.
Time Machine by Harvey
I say ‘their’ very specifically because this has become an effort of three….Henry, Pamela and Cameron – Father, Mother, Son. The story spans decades with the focal point being Henry’s infatuation of metal art.
Upon arrival I see many large metal structures about the estate; I took a picture of ‘Time Machine’ upon leaving. It is featured in one of the several books on their art; I liked the look of bare metal against the starkness of nature in late Fall.
After a refreshing conversation including Carl Sagan and Black Holes we said our goodbyes promising to reconnect. Upon leaving I learn that there is a trilogy written and an alleged high-profile actor considering a movie based upon Henry Harvey’s life.
Life is interesting in that I am also following a similar path about an artist I am researching, i.e. book and movie.
Time Machine -Italian
In the art book “Passion for Metal” they describe the methods and journey in the creative process. The metal art is generally dynamic and colorful as seen in a photo of another time machine.
You can find several book published to dramatically explain the development of this wonderful art or the trilogy based upon life at: www.harveygallery.com
