Reynold Mackey: “When you pick up the globe, you feel time.”
Episode 48
Wednesday, 5 February, 2025
Colorado Springs artist and arborist Reynold Mackey on his decade of hand-carving accurate physiographic globes out of solid wood, how to translate a 2D topobathymetric map onto a sphere, art as family business, casting globes in bronze, chainsaw-carving to Hendrix and dental pick-carving to Debussy, why hard work is an ally to meaning, learning welding, leatherwork and paper lacquering to make globe enclosures, the acrobatic stillness of trees, and how, unsurprisingly, he “could never take any shortcuts.” See his work at globesculptor.com and @globesculptor on IG Art Castings of Colorado Vincenzo Coronelli Manitou Art Center Need maps for your org’s reports, decks, walls and events?
