course adds a new dimension that tends to be of interest to people who purchase work. They are more easily impressed by such things.


JH: I know you work in many different materials. Can you tell me a bit about the ones you work in and the ones you’re most comfortable with?


JBH: I started with steel and then moved to stainless steel which I like a lot. I like the light reflectivity and strength. But I then moved on to stone and I found that it is somehow more satisfying – it’s as unique as each person. So when you work the stone you’re working with something totally unique and also it’s a direct part of nature, so you’re working with time. Stone was created so long ago and carries such a history. Unique qualities and textures and colors make a very satisfying experience which you don’t get with stainless steel because it’s all the same material. It’s far cooler whereas stone is richer and warmer and just more aesthetic.


JH: Jon, do you have any projects coming up in the next little while? I’m still negotiating with a library in Dallas for a public art project and am still waiting to hear back. And I’m always making application for projects.
