Silas Finch is a local artist with a studio downtown on Church Street. Silas produces some amazing sculptures out of scrap metal and other reclaimed materials. I visited his studio over the weekend, just before he packed it all up for a six day teaching fellowship at the Groton School in Massachusetts. His work will be on display and open to the public at the Groton School’s Christopher Brodigan Gallery.

Like they say, there's a pot of gold in scraps. I work in a metal cutting industry and you wouldn't believe how many sculptors are actually buying metal junks for their art.

Yeah, and one time I actually witnessed the unveiling of a huge metal sculpture. I wonder how it was transported there with its enormous size.
