Steel, wood and concrete are all around us, and for artists like Carlos Page, the possibilities of these mediums are endless. Carlos’ first experience creating art was 30 years ago in San Francisco. He had left his hometown of Buenos Aires, Argentina to apprentice for a few years with a metal-works artist in the Bay Area.

“I went to a technical high school in Buenos Aires, and the only class I remember was metal shop,” Carlos says. “We were assigned simple tasks, like making shapes and forms of steel. I enjoyed the luminosity, the texture and the material as it pertains to how we use it.”

Eventually Carlos’ appreciation for these materials deepened when he started thinking about their significance through a historical lens. Steel, wood and concrete have been critical in shaping modern civilization.
