Hatched
Artist Statement:
“Hatched” is a bird in its first moments of life and is mostly made from materials I had lying around. The egg is made from sheet steel and an old copper pipe that I cut, hammered flat, and rolled. The birds heart was made from a giant truck leaf spring that was found in a field at Scandia Village. The head has a ball joint from a 55 Chevy and the eyes are bearings from a Jeep CV axel. The chain represents the nest and was found in our woods. It is finished with a matte clear coat to extend its life.

About the Artist
Travis Fournier
Travis and his family relocated to Fish Creek from the Madison area in 2019. He has always enjoyed art, but it was during his training to be a mechanic and auto body technician that he discovered his love for working with metal along with his passion for classic car restoration. When he is not working or spending time with his family, he creates metal art as a hobby. He has been commissioned by companies in Lake Delton and Door County to build large scale metal signs and sculptures. He enjoys both a smooth clean finish to his work and a steampunk style with repurposed parts and hardware.
