✨After six years, Milkweed is complete!🌱
I’ve created a monument to milkweed pods and to monarch butterflies, important ecological contributors and beloved annual migrants🦋. Milkweed plants serve as safe stopping points for monarchs along their journey, as Milkweed is a symbolic shelter or home for its visitors.
🪴The sculpture serves as a metaphorical welcome to wanderers, butterfly or human.
I fought to breathe this sculpture into existence. Every step has been done by my own hands, with simple tools: a plasma cutter, English wheel, flux core welder, and basic hand tools.🗜️I like to think I’ve created my own safety, my own little home in which to rest.
Come visit my studio while it’s here, and maybe catch me napping inside now that the work is done!
