It would not do Joseph Shaeffer justice to simply adorn him with the titles sculptor, fabricator and conceptual artist. You'd be hard pressed to encompass to overall scope of his talents using just those terms. The Boulder, Colorado based principle behind the Studio Joseph Shaeffer exhibits both scientific and mathematic inclinations through his Industrial themed creations. The former student of mechanical engineering at the University of Colorado incorporates kinetic processes along with principles of magnetism to create jaw droppingly, appealing works. Aside from his talents sculpting or whatever you want to call it, he's one heck of a designer. His initial proposal for the World Trade Center memorial could best be described as thoughtful and breathtaking.
