There was very little time to create this Friday; but I was determined to squeeze in a couple of fragments. I have been working on a larger piece of work that involves stainless steel wire and a rusted object; but I knew I would not finish the piece.
So decided to make a couple of small pieces from rusted parts of a gas cooker. The following photos show the rusted objects marked up, drilled and grooved.

And the pieces once they were stapled-stitched and mounted on timber.

Some Fridays are given over to community and friends - but it is still nice to end the day having made something in the studio-garage.
Your sutured steel is beautiful, curiously have never heard of 'hairy oak', the grain is similar to the beautiful 'silky oak' aka Grevillea robusta, just looked it up to discover it's Allocasuarina inophoia
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful work!
