Beauty of simple forms and rust

 

This sculptural piece (above) is a product of my commitment this year to use up the bits and pieces in the workshop. 

I had a piece of Corten steel left over from my commission to make three large rusted metal leaves - images of leaf sculpture below.

The piece left over was about 1.2m long and .8m wide - see images below of the marking up and cutting the metal. I wanted to go for a simple folded form that can stand in the garden and the owner can enjoy the tall rust form; but also the negative spaces. The metal was hand cut with the side grinder; and folded by clamping it to the cutting bench.



A few more images of the piece follow.




The smaller triangle cut outs are also folded and can with lie down or stand tallish.
