Karoo Doring

 I have been quite busy the last while getting reference material ready for a new exciting collection of sculptures. This collection will feature 12 enlarged plant species from the Karoo in the Northern cape province. I am working with steel, shaping it by forging it into the main shape and then refine it using an angle grinder. I then finish of the pieces with a natural black oxide and bees wax. The sculptures will be mounted on sand stone from the area. The piece below is currently on auction at art.co.za as part of an fund raising initiative for SANAVA (South African National Association for the Visual Arts): https://auction.art.co.za/sanava-member-auction/
