The artists that make Harmony Gaits
Spencer has been creating art and music since he was a young boy. For most of his life his focus was on the piano and in addition to creating, recording and producing music, he dedicated a significant portion of time to working on over 20,000 pianos, crank phonographs and pump organs. This gave him the opportunity to collect unique and obscure vintage mechanical objects along the way. In 2006 Spencer began to focus his creative energy on the ‘re-purposed or found-art’ world, using parts he had amassed over the years to create unusual sculptures. “I love vintage 60-150 year-old beautifully designed parts and objects. The graphic design and engineering of the industrial to the science fiction eras inspire me.”
Esther Siegel's late-in-life artist emerged from the scrapbooking world. From there she expanded to unique greeting cards and then into ‘found art’ sculptures. Her pieces are a mixture of the whimsical and dark humor. They include Book-Mobiles & Book Art, Twisted Toasters (vintage toasters as the base), Horse People (horse/doll combo), fun repurposed sculptures, small lamps and Altered Barbies.
