Tractor Chair
From rusty tractor seat to my new throne… because apparently I’m too fancy for normal chairs now!
This poor old Ford tractor seat was sitting in the scrap pile looking like it lost a fight with 40 years of rain and regret. So I rescued it, gave it a full spa treatment (green paint, wooden armrests, and a fancy elephant cushion), and turned it into this glorious armchair.
Now instead of hauling hay, it’s hauling my tired backside while I sit like a king who’s had a very long day on the farm.
Zero horsepower left… but maximum comfort and questionable life choices achieved.

Scrap Metal Composition

This is an experimental piece combining a few pieces into a balanced composition.

Here is a more poetic description. The piece celebrates the welding process as a form of expressive mark-making, blending geometry with organic, chaotic energy. It exudes a gritty and transformative quality, resembling architectural elements—reclaimed industrial fragments that have been repurposed into a strong, tactile abstract form, following the tradition of junk-metal and welded sculpture.

It is not treated against rust so it's texture will change over time.

From Fetters to Frankincense

This piece is symbolic in nature. It combines a section of a hinge from an old barn door, a discarded chain salvaged from a farmyard, a bowl, and various pieces of scrap metal. The artwork incorporates elements such as a chain, a bowl, a central focus represented by the hinge, and other scraps. It portrays the burden of being chained by circumstance, while also conveying the hope of deliverance through our worship and prayer, likened to a bowl of incense.

Dimensions: 25cm (l) x 25cm(w) x 62cm(h)

Display Suggestions: On a Side Table or Altar-Style Stand (Intimate & Prayerful) Place it on a low wooden pedestal, an antique crate, or a small stone/concrete base in a meditation space. Add a small tea light or battery LED inside the bowl for a warm glow (symbolizing the prayers of the saints). Surround the setup with a Bible, a cross, or simple white lilies to incorporate the theme of purity represented by the fleur-de-lis. This arrangement invites people to pause and reflect, making it perfect for personal devotion or small group settings.

"Hinge Vein"
This design features a minimalistic style. This piece originated from the forgotten parts of heavy, rusted strap hinges that were once part of a weathered barn door. These hinges, which used to swing open and welcome the morning light, have been skillfully welded together and cleaned up. They are now arranged to curl upward like a determined vine striving for the sun. The white patina on the surface tells tales of decades spent enduring the elements, while the graceful spiral shape symbolizes resilience, growth, and the beauty that can emerge from objects that were once considered merely functional. This sculpture serves as a quiet reminder that even the most ordinary, worn-out items can be transformed into something elegant and meaningful when given a new purpose.
Dimensions: 57 cm (h) x 44 cm (l) x 24 cm (w)
Display Suggestions: This piece pairs beautifully on a wooden surface, such as a shelf, side table, or console, and can also be showcased on a bookshelf or floating shelf.

Whisper of Rust (In Progress)
“It’s understated, intimate, and carries that gentle tension between decay and life that the lamp itself embodies.”

The globe can be changed out without disassembling the lamp. Display Suggestions: Place on a durable table or a standalone base; suspension is viable, given its considerable weight.

Will be on display at our next Creative Art Exhibition.
