Hot Steel Welding

03/10/2025

I’ve spent half my life welding, fabricating and creating. This is 40 + a month or so with 20 years of doing something I love through thick and thin ❤️‍🔥

Burning Man came and went, followed by a trip to China for work—creating a whirlwind of photos and emotions that got lost in the shuffle for a while 🌀

This year was particularly special. and I added an extension to “The Sub,” an artcar that’s been attending the Burn for over a decade. We spent nearly every summer night problem-solving this “bench build” to add a back deck, complete with an escape slide, all designed to break down for travel! As with true Burn fashion, there wasn’t much documentation during the experience, but it made the impact we had hoped for 🛝

Now in Oscar fashion- thank you to for the trust and continuous inspiration. Thank you to .kyger and for traveling to Joshua Tree right before the burn to help us bring this vision to life and get everything packed! Until next time ✨

Hello! And welcome to my new workshop! 🔥

A couple months ago I bought a house, all on my own. Freakin surreal! 🤯 And I’ve finally set up my shop!

Recently I was asked to make a custom UFO planter (haven’t made them in 3 years, after making at least 80!) Turned out to be the perfect project to break in the new space.

Stoked to have a place to work! Now just need to add more stars to the ceiling ✨✨✨ and organize my scrap pile outside!

Whipped up a few incense burners on my first day back in my shop since August! Reminiscent of an anvil, or even a genie lamp 👩🏻‍🏭

It’s been a busy fall traveling around the world on jobs. Happy to be back welding! 🔥

2 burners available on my Etsy! (One already spoken for)

✨ Night time is the right time ✨

First and last slide are from the earliest test shoot I did with my most recent sculpture. Set up a tripod and timer, pressed the button, sat real still and couldn’t believe the results! I love how the chair illuminates who’s sitting inside and the shadows it casts all around🌈

And that rising moon shot! Otherworldly 🛸

Thank you Derek for photographing all the rest and helping me move the chair to the absolute most perfect spot… maybe more then once 😅👏

Before/ After and more before 🍄

Building is one of my favorite things to do. Welding has been meditative for me since I started 🧘‍♀️

“Meditation Mushroom” 🍄 My first larger scale (personal) sculpture in 18 months!

While sitting centered in this chair you become the stem of a mushroom, entering into your own private bubble. Taking a break from the hectic world to focus on yourself. 🧘‍♀️

This bubble chair rotates 360°, programmable lights inside and out with music surrounding you from 2 hidden speakers. 🫧

Mushroom top sleeves into the chair base for easy transportation. Lights and light covers are removable. Custom patina and clear coated.

Ground hubcap mushrooms also break down for easy transport and come as a set with the chair.

Message/ email me if you’re interested in owning this Mediation Mushroom Bubble Chair! 🍄🧘‍♀️❤️

Today i did some welding work on a 1972 Chevy Nova!

The original seat framing was cut out and I replaced it with a piece .m.hogan salvaged from a junk yard. Pat rescued this beauty from the desert and will be completely restoring it! 😍

I love doing projects like this. Send more my way, always up for the challenge ❤️‍🔥
