Movement and surprise can be key elements of a Prescott sculpture. His manner of combining weighty and massive materials with light concepts of subject can’t help but produce smiles. His menagerie of animals may have heads that nod – with the wind or a light touch; his stationary pieces, such as prickly pear cactus or stately saguaros, combine realism with a touch of the fantastic.

Prescott’s technical construction often creates weights and balances; the welded spatial planes throughout his massive outdoor sculptures create movement to the eye in ways that can leave viewers guessing about angles.

Fred Prescott is constantly recreating himself, yet a common thread throughout his work is his unending passion for life and his passion for sculpture.
