      Blacksmith Marc Maiorana discusses entering new territory with his work, which was on view in "40 under 40: Craft Futures" at the Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. Concerned with aesthetics, design, and sustainability, Maiorana's hand-forged iron pieces challenge previous assumptions about the possibilities of this medium.

      40 Under 40: Craft Futures
      40 Under 40: Craft Futures examines the expanding role of the handmade in contemporary culture through the work of the next generation of artists. Organized in celebration of the fortieth anniversary of the Renwick Gallery, the Smithsonian's branch museum for American craft and decorative arts, this project gathers forty makers born since 1972, the year the Renwick opened to the public. Apparent are rapidly evolving notions of craft, ranging from traditional media, such as ceramics and jewelry, to fields as varied as sculpture, industrial design, performance and installation art, fashion design, sustainable manufacturing, and mathematics.
