Seth Hudson

Seth Hudson's creations are a result of a dialogue of various life experiences. It all started at age five when his grandmother gave him his first set of "real" tools. Here was born a love of creating and building. From his father and his grandfather, a Master Carpenter, he learned fine woodworking and finishing skills as well as an appreciation for rare and fine wood, especially mahogany which his grandfather harvested from old naval ships around New Orleans. At age eleven, living in rural Lousiana, he would fight boredom by balancing brooms, chairs, or anything he could find on his hand, foot, or even chin. He also had his first job sweeping floors for a spiral staircase company and became enamored of the steam bending process used to make arches and curves with a seemingly rigid medium. His various experiences beget his life long fascination with balance, organic shapes, and movement that persist in his art today. Later, a time of gypsy traveling as a young adult led him to encounter and work with glass blowers, jewelers, kinectic artists, and fine metal product fabricators. All of this vivifies his work with mixed mediums of metal, wood, and glass. His art embodies the concept most necessary to his life, an effortlessly gentle balance in motion.
