Christopher Fennell (born 1965 in Clearwater, Florida , United States ) is an American public artist known for using recycled materials.[1]
Biography [ edit ] Fennell grew up in Clearwater and worked in construction before earning a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of South Florida in 1989.[2] [3]
During his time at Georgia, Fennell was inspired to build his first colossal sculpture after seeing an old barn falling down[4] [5] [6] [7] [3] [8] [9] [2] [10] [11] [12]
Fennell views his site-specific installations as "redeeming" lost spaces for local residents.[13]
