These are stainless steel in diameters from 23 to 46 inches. No two are alike. What’s amusing is watching people trying to figure out if they are flat. They are.
There is no paint or dye. Grind and torch stainless hot enough and iridescent colors result.
Long tube fluorescent lighting does not work for this. Most any other lighting will. The more sources, the better. The average living room is fine.
This stainless is thin enough that these are not heavier than the framed paintings of the same size.
Two questions I am asked regularly are “What inspired it?” and “How long did it take to make?”
Visual ideas, for me, often are just visual. Words have nothing to do with them. It could be a feeling, a color, a predicament, or any other emotion or thought a person could have. This time it merely was a round piece of left over-metal. Could something be done with it? I tried. It was interesting. “Interesting” is important. It led to five years making hundreds of them, each different, until they looked like this and the people asking to buy one became insistent (I hadn’t liked them enough to sell till now). So, the inspiration was a piece of scrap that was interesting. But how long did it take to make?
