Really interesting to see the artists process, I’m not typically a sculpture person but I liked these!

Fletcher was a fine person. I’m really going to miss him.

My father lived back in San Francisco and use hang with Fletcher. Years past, my father married and I grew up his only son back in New York City. Fletcher and he had no contact. In time I moved out to San Francisco and met my future wife. Now my ex-wife. 😂 Knowing that wedding would be out here my father decided to reach out to Fletcher to let him know that he would be in the Bay Area. My father asked Fletcher if he could recommend a hotel and this man who had not seen or heard from my father in almost thirty years invited him to stay at his studio in San Francisco. Now that’s what I would call a true friend. Fletcher invited my then wife and over to his studio and what I can remember is all the model trains and how proud he was of them. 😁

Hi Fletcher. I really like your art. BTW, I was in an art class with you at Miami back in the day (I'm not an artist, just love most types but with an affinity for bold, structural art). Best, Chuck

This is junk, not art. Art should communicate an awareness. The awareness here is simply adding order to junk -- not very enlightening.

cmon guys. this is just welding metal scraps together into diff shapes. anyone can pay a welder to weld random shit together and call it art. This is why artists get a bad rap as pretentious.
