You'll get hooked on this Tucson art exhibition

When Canadian blacksmith Matt Jenkins found himself stuck in a creative hole, he turned to hooks to help get him out.

From Jan. 1 to Dec. 31 of 2016, a leap year, Jenkins spent an hour a day at Cloverdale Forge in St. Andrews, Manitoba, using the materials he had on hand to design and create different styles of hooks, according to press materials.

The end result was “#366Hooks: Form and Design Revealed Over a Year’s Time,” an exhibition of his final works that has made its way to Sculpture Tucson’s Post House, 3420 E. River Road. It will be on display at the facility through Aug. 15.
