Hands On Fire
Fall Rittenhouse Square 2025
My hands have always been on fire—always creating, building, and forming. As a second-generation metalworker, The fire was sparked by a father who crafted enduring heirlooms, instilling in me a love for handmade creations. This fire found its purest expression in hand percussion. The movement of sound is primal, kinetic, and alive—A creative expression that transcends hand craft and metal work.
At HandsOnFire, I don’t just recycle propane tanks—I transform them. Each sculpture is a renaissance, a fusion of metalwork and sound, crafted to inspire and unlock creativity. Like these tanks, you have a voice worth discovering and a fire that needs to burn. My hope is that these pieces ignite your passion and give you an expressive voice.
