Leaf for rust lovers

After three sessions of cutting, bending and tying wire the skeletal leaf is complete. I tested it out with a number of backgrounds.



Leaves and rust



Beige gravel and plants



Blue gravel



Bitumen driveway



And detail with leaves

The leaf is about 1.5m long by .4m wide - made from recycled rusted iron rod and barbed wire.

  1. I vote driveway! All the backgrounds make for great shots, but driveway shows off the leaf best, makes it look almost like something fossilized and unearthed at an archaeological site! But this is an awesome piece, any way you look at it!

  4. Intersting that the driveway gets the vote. Maybe it is because of the steely grey? I think the piece would loomk good mounted on a sttely grey wall. B

  5. Though it doesn't show up as well I love the leaves and rust. The detail photo holds my attention too.
