Slipper Tree

Frank Castiglione - Friday, December 24, 2010 - 12:24pm

This sculpture began with an odd piece of Maple firewood.The bark is crudely removed. The feet are (recycled)springs from an early snowmobile. They will be dress up to match the organic theme.They provide much movement and yet are stable.The plant is made from mild sheet steel(.032"). The leaves are stretched into a stump with a three pound sledge. I shrunk the edges back to a consistent line with a one pounder.Hit placement was my priority , and using the fewest hits. The leaves aren't typical orchid structures, but it was consistent with my "pick what I like and use that" theme.

This is the Brown Orchid of Egypt.I saw the word Egypt on one of the rebar sepals, so it became part of the name.The shape came from my soul. I must make more orchids and color them.
