Background about the Artist
--------------------------------------
James C. Myford (1940-2014) first became interested in Aluminum after attending a workshop sponsored by Alcoa in the Pittsburgh Art Center in 1970. With his love of aluminum sparked, he begun creating sculptures out of cast aluminum, a venture which quickly paid off as he had gotten his first one-man art exhibition by 1972. Since then he has created and sold many pieces with him producing about 10-15 pieces a year with some of his larger pieces taking the entire year to complete. Unfortunately, James Myford passed away at the age of 73 in 2014.

Aluminum while an extremely durable metal, will slowly degrade when constantly exposed to high humidity which appears in the form of these small spots. This mostly impacts the aesthetics of the piece as it's structural integrity is under no real threat due to how thick it is. less
