Looking for Spirits, 1986
Wood and Metal, 32" x 38" x 6"
Robert Harmon, Jr., was born in 1941 in Osterville, Massachusetts and died in 2014 in East Sandwich, Massachusetts. He received an M.A. in sculpture from the School of Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 1987. He showed extensively in Massachusetts after 1982 and his work is included in collections throughout the state. Harmon incorporated welded steel, carved wood, paint, tape, cloth, found objects, and cast epoxy materials into his mixed-media constructions, creating images of animals, figures or tools that blend humor and an almost primitive quality in their depiction of a spiritual quest.
