The artwork of Randy Hodges, the Manteo Blacksmith, takes different forms and has seen many progressions. Much of his art involves reshaping and repurposing bits and pieces of iron that are left from the disintegration of the products of the Industrial Revolution. His favorite materials are old tools and scrap iron. As he forges on these pieces of the past, he ponders the new digital Revolution and what it means for the future.
Most of Randy's art falls into one of 4 categories. Descriptions and images follow:
Scrap Metal Menagerie
A line of creatures sculpted from a variety of salvaged steel materials,
featuring
insects, reptiles, fish, birds, people, and so forth that are unique, sometimes outsized, and always familiar

Iron Horseplay
A line of artwork and utilitarian items forged from used horseshoes.
We create a range of things from practical wall hooks to engaging creature sculptures,
all carrying the spirit of luck that is forged into horseshoes.
