Mackenzie Martin
Mackenzie Martin is a dedicated artisan in the blacksmithing field with extensive training in traditional forging through the American College of Building Arts, and on the job with top-tier sculptural blacksmiths across the country. His work is strongly rooted in historical methods and knowledge, but uses caricatures and forms to express emotions that are timeless and universal.
His largely figurative work expresses ideas that are relatable to the general public, while educating about the surprisingly malleable and transformable nature of steel. Many of his works show the marks of force captured in the skillfully formed surfaces and shapes. They express ideas that are appreciable on emotional, technical, and aesthetic levels.
Mackenzie lends his extensive experience to planning, building, and perfecting the works that are produced at Darling Metals.
