2016 - Steel

This piece was the first time I really put my skills in metal to artistic use. I had worked as a welder/fabricator for about five years, creating structural and functional objects. Calling upon my experiences working with the material, I chose to work with an organic style, using heat and weld to almost create skin and muscle. Wrapped around a thin round bar armature that gives the dog its pose, I also made use of negative space to create depth and intrigue.
