“ The demon within technology “ This in an original steel sculpture by Scott Wilkes made by welding thousands of small steel rods together. She stands 49.5 inches tall and weighs 62 pounds. She is mounted on a steel plate which the end of her tail rests on and keeps her standing with grace. She is meant to be kept indoors for the elements could do damage to her. She is sealed so she won’t rust unless damaged. This piece is one of the two completed works in the new series by Scott Wilkes called “ My demons and the worlds “ which is a look at not only my internal demons but also demons created by the world which effect me. This series will have at least 13 pieces which I have already drawn up, started on or completed. This piece is the second of the series both of which I completed the third week of 2018. I have another in the works and the rest are drawn up but may add pieces to the series if I feel the need. to me the artist: she is a conjuring of a feeling I have about the internet which is not good. She is the counterweight to the first piece in the series called “ the angel of technology “ Let me try and explain this…The internet to me is tool, And like any tool it can be used properly or used improperly with bad intent. To explain this piece I also need to somewhat reference the first so it makes as much sense as possible. The angel is the pure true form of the internet as a tool, the demon is what has come from the use of the tool by humans with bad intent. She is what can be conjured with simple keystrokes or posting a photo. She is the liar of liars, she takes the truth that can be bought and seals it away while she exudes lies,,she is the hacker of hackers, Stealer of identity, the coward bullies tongue and voice. She is the cyber pickpocket who allows hands thousands of miles away take from you. She is the scourge of silicone valley only hungry for your data. She is sleek and cunning, riding on trojans and handing out poisoned cookies filled with worms. Her horn like an antenna stays connected to those who feed her desire to cheat, steal , lie, and destroy. She keeps us chained to our devices with her shinny trinkets while we choose to let the world pass and stare through her tiny vision of a screen. Her one eye visible is watching and logging and keeping files while her other eye is unseen is probably looking deeper at you, and what you do, and where you go, and what you buy, and where you buy it , and who you talk to..and selling that info she gathers. She is strong and dangerous yet you keep looking at her for she was designed to keep you thinking about other things than the crimes she is comiting with your help.

Hello, my name is Scott Wilkes a.k.a Ironheart. I am not going to have a stuffy bio, I’m going to just tell it like it is. I reside in the wonderful City of austin Tx and although a transplant I have been here since 1988. I think My artistic nature started pretty early in life, even before I started school. I was known for taking my toys and taking a hammer to them and then taking the parts and gluing them back together in new forms. It didn’t please my parents but when I started in on the neighbor kids toys that came to an end. After that I was more fond of old cardboard boxes and styrofoam packing materials.. Some shears , some duct tape, elmers glue.. and I would make all sorts of things. But those don’t hold up well. Through the years I did all sorts of things and never really thought of as it was art but in retrospect I guess in a way it was all a learning process that lead to my Art. It wasn’t until high school that I took an actual art class from a wonderful teacher. I wish I could remember That teachers name. She was pivotal to my world and introduced me to DALI , ESCHER , H.R GIGER. Later I found OLIVIA, SORAYAMA , VARGAS , NAGEL . They are all major influences. There are many more but they are the ones who stand out the most. This will lead into my education as far as art.. I didn’t get more than a couple years of actual teaching ,,, but what I did get, I think was substantial. And I took it from there. It did take 20 more years .. But I’m ok with that. I made a career out of welding which in a way is an art form itself which takes many years to truly master. After 20 years of it is when I began to sculpt for I finally felt confident with the medium along with having a life change that flooded me with emotions that I had to express in some sort of constructive fashion. I truly enjoy taking a medium which in so many ways is usually considered cold, hard, rigid and rough and making something which conveys softness, warmth, movement and flow. I also would like to say a special thank you to R.S.S and more specifically to Don White for the use of the hydraulic shear to cut all the pieces and his confidence in my artwork. He was the toughest boss I ever had, but helped shape me in to the man I am today... thanks Captain Cowboy !
