Conrad’s work has evolved to focus more on sculpture and one-off collectable pieces. He has exhibited with Southern Guild since 2013 when he was included in the influential Heavy Metal show at the Bronze Age Foundry in Woodstock. Since then he’s shown to international audiences at design fairs such as Design Miami, Design Days Dubai and Collective 1 in New York. He held his first solo exhibition, Implement, with the gallery in May 2019.
Expressive and highly textured, his pieces have an intimate connection with nature, even as many veer towards abstraction. All of his work, from the most functional to the most purely sculptural, he views as tools – ‘whether used to cut or communicate, the tools hold the values of our society and represent our achievements as sacred objects.’
