The Fx N Metal website is a digital portfolio of handmade metal sculpture / art designed and handmade exclusively by David Woody in his Houston area studio. David’s sculpture is based on four different themes; functional, natural, abstract, and spiritual. The first letter of the metal sculpture / art article number shown on the Product Portfolio product titles, indicates the design theme; F = functional, N = natural, A = abstract, and S = spiritual.
David’s metal sculpture / art digital imagery is shown on the Product Portfolio page of this website. The digital photography was taken and processed by David Woody, using a mirrorless camera, photo lighting equipment, and Pictomic’s Visere Captura product photography software and turntable.
Please visit Pictomic’s Visere Captura website and take a look at the FXnMetal case study.
Materials used in David’s metal sculpture / art include brass, steel, and copper, in forms including sheet, rod, bar, and wire. David also incorporates rocks, minerals, fossils, railroad spikes, steel cut nails, and wooden limbs / bases. No materials are processed using computer-aided techniques or template cutting; everything is made by hand.
To start the development process, all Fx N Metal sculpture / art design ideas undergoes a mental litmus test of artistic and topical development and appeal as well as fabrication practicality.
The look and feel of David’s designs and shapes are perfected through various prototypingtechniques. Being handmade, each piece, even the limited-edition pieces, have minor fabrication differences making them truly one-of-a-kind metal sculpture / art pieces.
Fx N Metal products are either two-dimensional or three-dimensional. The two-dimensional products are typically displayed on a wall and viewed from the front. Two-dimensional images of the product in the Product Portfolio are normally still images. For the three-dimensional product images, all sides are viewable to facilitate and enhance the viewing of all sides, the first image in the Product Portfolio is a rotating image followed by 3 to 5 still images.
The rotating image allows the viewer to see a continually-rotating product where all sides and details are clearly visible.

David’s metal sculpture designs are influenced by the natural and manmade world around him, his travels, public and private photos / media, and other sources of inspiration. David’s designs are original creations and not copies or reproductions of other art. A Certificate of Authenticity is available for any purchase.
Some of David’s metal art incorporates unrefined and / or exaggerated geometric forms and uses bold raw materials. These instances are an application of a brutalist metal sculpture / art design style. David’s work also incorporates a minimalist metal sculpture / art style on some products, in which the materials are formed into abstract, geometric, and proportional shapes with a focus on simplistic forms.
