Dale Rogers - "TWO FARMERS" <br /> Dale Rogers Jr. has made a full circle during his first 30 years. In high school, he <br /> was active in art classes and felt that creativity was his rock during adolescent years. <br /> After pursuing a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing, he returned home to work on the <br /> family farm in his parent's bottled water plant. Rebuilding and maintenance of the <br /> machinery was Dale's facet of the business, and his creativity began to develop once <br /> again. <br /> Dale started to lay the groundwork for his move to full -time metal sculpting <br /> several years ago. His metal work took on more precision and his focus on <br /> combinations of stone and steel forms evolved. In his stone and steel sculptures, Dale <br /> achieves a sense of balance and harmony within conflicting materials. He says, "I have <br /> always tried to balance home and travel, friends and family, business and pleasure. <br /> When I create sculpture, it is important for me to explore and create a balance between <br /> natural and industrial materials." <br /> Most of Dale's large sculptural work incorporates stainless steel or rusted steel and <br /> stone. He spends considerable time in contemplation before he creates a new work. <br /> As his "mental vision" of the piece becomes clear, then — and only then — he begins the <br /> construction process. <br /> re.i3 =1 {, .
