"We try very hard to use things as they are
and not alter them. It would be easy to just cut
and bend metal, but we don't do that.
That way, the pieces we work with
really do have a 2nd time design".
"Breathing new life into worn-out materials --
used-up parts, scraps, bits and pieces --
that is the real reward of what we do."

Judy Hagen.
"Almost all our ideas come from a single piece of metal. The shape will look like something, and we will build from that."
"We are both self-taught.
I don't think you can teach anyone how to use their imagination."
