Project Description

This 2 foot tall cat sculpture was created by welding together various scrap pieces of steel. I started by sketching out the posture in heavy steel wire, then added small pieces of hammer formed steel sheet to bulk out the body. I welded all kind of steel parts in there, like square and round pipe, sheet and plate of all sizes. Once everything was completely fused together I attacked the surface with an angle grinder to create a coarse fur-like texture. The sculpture was colored with gun blue and sealed with oil.
