flora

For this piece I made the image in cardboard approximately one third of the size. this "template" was used to lazar cut the piece at a factory, I prepared the surface for partial application of oil paint and had metal bolts placed on the back for wall mounting. The material is quarter inch steel, and I have the piece in the garden exposed to the elements to enrich and etch the surface further with oxidation. "Flora" is half fawna, half flora rooted and reaching strong and vunerable.
