Meetup With Martin

I had the pleasure of meeting Martin Payton when he visited Pensacola State College's Anna Lamar Switzer Center for Visual Arts to discuss his Broken Time: Sculpture collection which is currently on display.  His artistic process was very insightful and interesting, especially on learning that he does not physically manipulate any of the metal pieces, but instead finds them as is and then envisions their potential as pieces of art.  I think we were all surprised when he started touching pieces that were meant to be touched in order to create motion in the pieces.
