RON SIMMER - sculpture



Ron Simmer is a sculptor working with found and recycled materials. As well as recycled objects, he incorporates organic matter - stone and wood - to express concerns about the fragility of our environment. He recycles materials from our consumer culture - skis, snowboards, fire extinguishers, car parts, musical instruments, fishing floats, driftwood and scrap metal - to create fanciful commentary on modern society. His inspiration comes from his working background - fisherman, steel fabricator, construction worker, boat builder, librarian - and his contact with nature through fly fishing, sea kayaking, sailing, skiing and hiking.
