new flower in the garden

This new multi petaled flower with stainless center spikes is inspired by wild roses. I used stainless cable to create tall thin leaves arching from the base. 3 – 4 feet tall.

I have recently made several planters from steel remnants and cut offs. Here are a couple I’ll have at my next show, the Recycled Arts Festival this weekend. http://www.recycledartsfestival.com
I met Sue and Michael at a show in quaint downtown Camas, where the street was blocked off for the spring patio, plant & garden show. They’d been looking for a tall piece to go in front of the house and something clicked when they saw this monolith. At seven feet, it makes a statement there now. Thanks you two!

To give you some perspective these flowers are in a pot 3 feet tall and 2 feet wide. They give the space some color while the pot holds back the soil in a planted bed. A high shelf inside holds a layer of stones. This was a fun project for Tom and Debbie! Thank you.
This new piece is called the cresting wave trellis. It would be perfect at night holding a lantern for an outdoor garden party! Perhaps two of different heights? Covered in snap peas? I used pencil rod in a random quilt style pattern with a gradual shift from 3D at the bottom to flat at the top. Here by the deck, it creates a boarder without being too heavy.

This red geometric piece is on top of a steep slope. Until the plants grow in, this playful bright pattern reminds one to watch their step. When the plants do come in, it will be a nice contrast to the green foliage. Thanks Bunny!

So pleased to meet with a couple looking for a piece to go into their beautiful zen garden. They’d been searching for almost a year. What a pleasure that they wanted the Bonzai monolith to complete the space. You’ve created a lovely retreat. Thank you very much Mary and Shelley!

These were sold at the Yard, Garden & Patio show, a low fence and some fiddlehead ferns. These fiddleheads were placed where the future ones would be planted. In the after photo the hostas really pop next to the laser cut steel. Thanks Bunny, for the pictures!

This piece was sold at Crackedpots last year. I was thrilled to receive this photo of it in its new home. I am now inspired to post client images to share the variety of locations and settings the sculptures are chosen for. Thank you Vivian for sending in this photo of the airline monolith!

In studio now is this substantial free standing new piece from the monolith series.
