Old Tex

June 16, 2020 By Hutchinson Public Arts Leave a Comment

Dale Lewis, Hastings MN

 

Historic St. John’s Episcopal Church

$45,000

After leaving his career as an electrical technician and machinist, Dale started exploring three dimensional art and mosaic sculptures. However, those didn’t hold up well outdoors in MN winters.

“So, in 2010 I bought a welder and started experimenting. I discovered that metal provides greater flexibility and working with scrap offers a wide variety of materials that often influence the design of my work. Not only can my pieces be permanently installed outdoors, but I love turning scrap into art. I look at things differently, especially at junk yards and now I see art everywhere”.

With horns made from Harley Davidson mufflers, Old Tex is a life size Texas Longhorn that weighs 600 pounds and is made of mixed metal and found objects.
