Greg Bard is a contemporary sculptor known for fusing industrial metals with organic and found materials to explore the tension between permanence and decay. Working at the intersection of craftsmanship and experimentation, Bard creates pieces that feel both engineered and grown — shaped by hand yet guided by the unpredictable character of the materials themselves. Brass, steel, reclaimed hardware, salvaged wood, and ocean-worn fragments often find their way into his work, each element chosen for the story it carries as much as its visual presence.

Deeply inspired by time spent in nature — especially along the coastline — Bard’s sculptures echo tidal rhythms, weathered textures, and the quiet resilience of natural forms. He is drawn to objects that have lived a previous life: metal components softened by corrosion, wood marked by seasons, shells and remnants shaped by water. Through thoughtful assembly and meticulous detailing, he often works to juxtapose the refined and the raw, transforming fragments into cohesive works that invite viewers to consider cycles of erosion, renewal, and connection.

Bard’s practice balances precision with intuition. Mechanical details coexist with tactile surfaces and forms rooted in bio-morphism, creating a dialogue between human intervention and natural evolution. Whether crafting intimate wall pieces or larger sculptural forms, his work celebrates material contrast, honoring the beauty that emerges when disparate elements are given space to coexist.
