RT’s Primal Screens
by Chris Barncard
RT began sculpting 25 years ago at age 15, but it took quite some time to come around to the medium on which he focuses. Though born in Dubuque, Iowa, RT made wire harnesses for the U.S. Department of Energy for three years after graduating from a technical college. It was while living in the southwest that he first saw wire-frame artwork by Eric Boyer on display in Scottsdale, AR. That experience sparked RT’s entry into a medium unencumbered by crowds of artists.

Streets are named after presidents, respected individuals, cities, states, or simply numbers, but two intersecting Riverwest streets share a special connection to each other and hold special meaning for Milwaukee. In 1857, the city of Milwaukee named a street after a local abolitionist, Sherman Booth. Eight years ago, it named an intersecting street after the runaway slave he helped to freedom.
