Arnie Garborg, a resourceful autodidactic sculptor, constructs sometimes minimal, sometimes intricate, yet always fastidiously crafted steel sculpture with an illusionary twist. Playing with light and shadow, his painted or naturally rusted steel pieces make masterful use of positive and negative space.
