Album: I Cast Iron Because...

Saugus Iron Works National Historic Site

Nearly 400 years after an unknown iron worker placed a mold in the sand at the base of the blast furnace to catch the molten iron, students from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design are using the same medium to demonstrate what iron can do as an art form when freed from functional constraints. Originally intended to be an installation at Saugus Iron Works, this exhibit moved online in response to the pandemic crisis and could not have been done without the cooperation of Marjee-Anne Levine, Visiting Lecturer in Sculpture at MassArt. We look forward to seeing more of her students’ work in the future.
