Chris Bathgate is a self-taught machinist, sculptor, and machine builder based in Baltimore, MD. His intricately machined metal sculptures combine his unique metafworking style with a pragmatic approach to engineering complex metal objects. His approach to art-making suggests that creativity alone does not drive human imagination, but that the need to resolve problems also leads to inspiration. For Bathgate, the restraints inherent in his process are a catalyst for his sculptural ideas.
