Lines in Space

Author: Nol Putnam
Published by Blue Moon Press, Huntingdon, PA 2010
ISBN: 978-1-936013-07-4
66 pages, 54 color photographs.

This is a large format “coffee-table book”, not something you would take out into the blacksmith shop. The book is full of large color photographs of Nol's work ranging from 1986 to the present. They are primarily pictures of sculptural pieces and some architectural ones. There is also some biographical information about Nol and his musings on art and blacksmithing.

It is interesting to note that in the last 5 generations of Nol's family, starting with his great, great, grandfather, John Turner Lackey, four of them have either worked with or been associated with iron, to include his younger sister who is a sculptor in metal. Certainly sounds like there is a genetic connection here.
