Welcome to Ruff Metal Works

About the Artist:

Mike Ruff

Growing up, Mike's influences were literature, history, psychology, mythology and automotive mechanics.  Working in the shop with his father Mike would frequently liberate interesting parts from the recycling bin and take them home.  As an adult his fascination with parts evolved into designing and producing upcycled functional metal art.

Given his of of technical processes, academics, and his passion for social justice, sculpture has become a natural creative expression.  His work examines the duality inherent in all of us.  Interactions between dark and light, masculine and feminine, chaos and structure are all expressed in a social justice platform.  Based in Hood River, Oregon Mike also teaches automotive technology.
