Bob Dylan, Gate Maker


Did you know Bob Dylan was an iron worker? He keeps welding supplies at his home in Malibu where he makes “ornate iron gates out of junk scrap metal.”

Says Dylan:
"Gates appeal to me because of the negative space they allow. They can be closed but at the same time they allow the seasons and breezes to enter and flow. They can shut you out or shut you in. And in some ways there is no difference."



You can see an exhibition of Dylan’s art - paintings as well as his iron work - at London’s Halcyon Gallery
