Sculpture on the Gulf Brunels Kingdom Jon Hall
John Hall Born Carterton. Lives and works in Auckland. Jon Hall has been blacksmithing since he was 14 years old. After completing an apprenticeship with Chris Dalziel, a highly trained industrial smith based in Wellington, he embarked on a nine-year journeyman’s apprenticeship across Europe, working in some of the world’s most renowned artistic forges. In 2007 he returned home and opened his own forging studio and artist workshop in Auckland where he produces sculptural works for exhibitions and contemporary architectural ironwork manufactured using traditional techniques. Hall’s art practice comes from studying the tradition of blacksmithing and its relation to craft within the art world, and is informed by experiences in his early twenties when he found the waste material formed during smithing was more beautiful and replete with information than the ‘finished’ work.
