The Two John von Bergens

Today I was reading a Booooooom post and saw this image. I like the quiet elegance.

According to the post the work is by John von Bergen. Since I liked the work so much I googled him. In doing so I found that there are two people with the same name who make sculpture.

This is the site of John von Bergen who made the piece–

Check out the pdf for more images and information about his work.


So the very cool thing is that the other John von Bergen is a sculptor who has a description of the sand casting process with a short video of a pour on his site. I do miss casting.

This is his site–

And this is the url for the sand casting information and the video of a pour is near the bottom of the page–

I picked this image because I like that it looks a bit sharp and pointy and yet protective.
