Silver Dandelion Sculpture

Ever seen a 4 kg dandelion flower? Well here you go. The ball is perfectly spherical, very tactile, cool to the touch, surprisingly heavy and fun to fidget with. This art is a game and a toy as well as eye candy. Using science and nature as my inspiration I created the series 'Metal Morphs', where metal parts get a different usage (like Lego blocks), and where metal hardware transforms into flora, fauna and sci-fi like tech items. It is made of galvanised iron bolts fitted into a painted PVC carrier sphere. It is part of a series of similar creations (to be published soon). I was experimenting with creating various bolt head densities over various ball diameters, something I couldn't predict or calculate as these are dependent on the screw hole distances, the bolt lengths and the bolt insertion depth. These things only become apparent once the holes are drilled and the holes are filled. Eg. the final product was a surprise to me and shaped itself as it got created. My sculptures date from 2014-2015, and have been in storage for the past few years. I now have the time to recondition, photograph and publish them. All photos are from 2023. My artworks are heavy and can damage floors and tables ... My cat and I have dropped some before, even from high up places, and they always survived. Wooden floors have been dented.
