Description

This artwork was created for the #tezaus art event 17th September - 24th September 2022. Using the traditional skills of a blacksmith but in a very organic style. Influenced by plants surrounding me in the tropics of Northern Australia around Townsville. Made from mild steel, every piece has been heated in my gas forge to a bright orange/yellow colour and hand hammered on my anvil using a 1 1/2 lb hammer to shape. The seed pods are made from cypress wood by another artist friend of mine and painted a bright pink by myself because I love bright pink especially in bougainvillea ! The whole sculpture stands around 5 feet tall and consists of three large pods and other hand forged components looking rather triffid like. I’ve left it to rust over time having first coated it in layers of clear acrylic laquer and I’m keen to see the pods gets eaten into by local insects and maybe even make their home there. I am an artisan blacksmith. I design and craft small functional and sculptural custom metalwork pieces, for lovers of handmade items to treasure forever; custom blacksmith items for the home and garden. I also love to share my skills and teach people the basics of blacksmith making with all the fun equipment.
