DALE ROGERS

sculptor

 “The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost, is a favorite poem of mine and the idea of making a sculpture to honor it was very intriguing to me. The design for 2 Roads took a long time to conceptualize. I knew I wanted to depict an individual with the two symbolic roads, but I wasn’t sure how to achieve it all in one piece.

   The inspiration for this sculpture is the opposite of Raven. Both pieces have excerpts from poems on them, but for different reasons. In this case, the poem was the driving force behind the sculpture. I knew I wanted a sculpture that depicted the poem."

How did I get started?

In 2002, I began my full time welding career. My interest in TIG welding and working with metal had started years before when I taught myself to repair metal equipment on my family’s farm. My interest in art started even before that, when I was in school. Art was always something I loved, but truthfully didn't think it was a career path that could support a family. It always struck me as a hobby, and having it make sense economically didn't seem feasible. To that end, I have walked a fine line of balancing my creative impulses with the economic realities of marketing, selling, and transporting large heavy metal sculptures.
