I’m making many orbs that stray from the classic garden orbs I’ve done. In these, the composition and collection of parts depends on the materials I find. Orb in an Orb (30″ H), Triple Middle (21″ H), Small Triple (16″ H) and Swoosh (16″H).
I’m really enjoying these organic nesty objects. Here is the orb (20″ H) and the egg (27″ H x 19″ W). It’s the perfect use for the tangled strap I find at the steel yard. I can take advantage of the distortion to create unique outcomes. I add all widths and thicknesses into the object so it feels like all the random twigs a bird may collect for a nest.
This sturdy steel trellis is inspired by Mondrain. There is a wide variety of steel bits used in the framework; flat bar, strap, various sized rod, threaded, spiraled, rebar, hex rod and laser cut.
