Carving a niche at the intersection between glass and concrete, artist and sculptor Ben Young has become world renowned for his incredible artworks.
Originally from Waihi Beach and now based in Mount Maunganui, Ben is an extraordinary talent and one of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. New Zealand Surf Journal caught up with Ben at his studio in Mount Maunganui where he builds, with the help of fellow surfer, Levi Stewart, his stunning glass and concrete sculptures.
