John Little
John Little is a Nova Scotian blacksmith/sculptor. He was born in Newark, New Jersey (USA) in 1943. Having received a BA from Brown University in 1965, John continued studying psychology in the Master's program at Dalhousie University, Halifax. For over thirty years, he has been forging iron and steel into decorative and sculptural forms and has exhibited locally, nationally and internationally, with works in private and public collections. John's commitment to exploration of form, technique, and design innovation has consistently led him in new and exciting directions.
Inspired by his lifelong involvement with percussion he has recently discovered some very interesting acoustic possibilities related to forged sculptural objects. John's sound sculptures including "Sagromides of Venus" and "Volcanus Eruptus" have been used at the Atlantic Jazz Festival, Sound Symposium (NFLD), "Out of the Forge" Festival of New Music and Movement, IronSky CD and concerts, Atlantic New Dance Festival, and at the Festival International Musique de Victoriaville, Quebec.
