Welded steel and stainless steel reclaimed materials. Components are prepped for size and shape before welding into the sculpture. Once completed, sculpture is cleaned, buffed/polished before patina and/or clear coat is applied. Sculpture is intended for indoor display only. The main component of the rabbit's body is a vintage bumper guard, circa 1950's. That was the main inspiration for a rabbit subject. What would it be like to ride a rabbit? Probably a lot like a rodeo. Other reclaimed components used are; bicycle parts, wrenches, gears, surgical tools and other industrial parts.

The bio-mechanical styles of Lewis Tardy’s sculptures have evolved throughout a lifetime of experiences, creating life and motion out of static scrap metals. Born in Kalamazoo Michigan, Tardy spent his youth exploring all things mechanical. During that time, he also was discovering his creative passion. In 1985 while working as an assistant in a sculpture studio, the two interests fused. The combination of found steel materials coupled with a mixture of commentaries including levity, strength and sexuality result in this unique expression of Tardy’s vision. Significant inspiration comes from shapes and designs discovered within the found parts and materials, which takes shape in human and animal subjects alike. On many occasions, a single shape or part will inspire and become the building block of a whole Idea.
