Artwork Description:
The Victor depicts the story of a white whale and the ship he wrecked. It was inspired by the story of Moby Dick and the Essex, and comes as 2 pieces. This artwork was created using a method called ‘spun steel’ an old blacksmithing technique where the metal strips are heated, formed and welded in place to form the final piece. I then completed each piece with a patina finish, airbrushing for extra detail, to make them seem more realistic. Both are mounted on stone, but can easily be transferred to another base.
I plan to create more ocean-inspired metal artwork, but am also open to creating commissioned pieces e. g., sea life or wildlife as long as it is possible to create them using one of my metal-sculpting techniques.
