For artistJeffro Uitto, a walk on the beach is more than just a serene walk.
It’s an opportunity to forage for materials for his incredible, large-scale sculptures.
Uittos creatures launch the gamut of subjects.
I’m drawn to the magic of certain animals, Uitto tells My Modern Met.
Eventually, if I get out of the way, it (the subject) will come to me.
The work is also informed by the driftwood he finds during his long hikes.
Although a laborious approach, Uitto has a great amount of gratitude for his process and where he lives.
Its thanks to the unique beauty of the Pacific Northwest.
I love it more and more all the time.
I grew up next to the ocean with the mountains nearby and never a shortage of inspiration and materials.
