Stephen Wakefield has been collecting found objects, primarily of metal and wood, his entire life. The self-taught artist began his professional artist’s journey when he was inspired by the metal collections housed at the Walters Art Museum in his native Baltimore. He was inspired to experiment with his vast inventory of finds gathered from Baltimore’s defunct historical buildings. Tin ceilings, commercial gears, chains, unique and ordinary metals along with wood of all sorts are transformed by Wakefield with stains, finishes, and patinas to create juxtapositions of color and form.
