Specializing in steel and stainless steel, his work is rooted in abstraction and non-representational forms.

Inquire about this piece

‘Cause I Feel the Pull, is made of leftover aluminum pieces. I had a bunch of these pieces and tried rolling one. I loved the look so I kept rolling more. As they piled up I liked the way they looked as they stacked up and I started playing with different variations and combinations of pieces. I love the way that it feels like it has movement and action.

Multiplied – 2024

MULTIPLIED by Josh Toone of Taylorsville, UT

$9,000 – 10’ X 4’ – Aluminum

I love geometric shapes, especially cubes. Crafted of aluminum, “Multiplied” explores the interplay between geometric shapes and spatial relationships. By stacking cubes of different dimensions, it creates a visually dynamic composition that invites viewers to contemplate concepts of balance, symmetry, and perspective.

With Gravity – 2023

“With Gravity” came about when I was able to find some pieces of steel that were headed to the scrap bin. I cleaned them up, then threw them through the roller, and played with them until they felt “done.”

Sisters Three

I am the third child of four, and I have three amazing sisters. As I was building this piece, and I saw the three shiny pieces of stainless contrasted against the darker, rougher, crooked piece of steel, I saw a good representation of my sisters and me. My sisters are shiny beacons of goodness, and strong as steel, and they all have been great examples to me in my life. I love them, and I am so grateful that they are my sisters.

I'm happy with this piece because it involves simple shapes. I also loved playing with the patina on the sphere, and the way that it contrasts with the stainless steel. This piece actually named itself: It became "0408," which denotes the years in which my kids were born.
