Media: Painted Steel Sale Price $6,500
“Trained as a textile artist, I have learned metal fabrication, bending and welding over the last 15 years. In general, I fabricate armatures by heating steel rod and manipulating it, like pliable fiber. After priming and spray painting, each armature returns to my “clean” fiber studio where I build up surfaces using wire, hardware and other elements.”
“Mod Pod is made of toys, found objects, glass beads, washers, plasma cut steel sheeting, threaded rod, bushings, tube and pipe. I created Mod Pod to allow viewers to peek inside the sculpture and gently spin it. The different surface patterns are inspired by textiles from around the world. The colors are inspired by brightly colored vintage toy tops, as well as lighthouses.”
