Hand-signed directly onto the central brass cylinder via the artist's signature electric-pen engraving, this rare three-dimensional piece features a cluster of stylized, torch-cut tubular stems functioning beautifully as a narrow wall pocket vase for dried botanicals or purely decorative display. Sprouting upward from the core is an elegant, architectural spray of mixed-metal cattail heads, delicate reeds, and arching foliage.The vertical composition beautifully showcases rich, torch-applied patina blending warm bronze and copper tones, casting dramatic geometric shadows when hung. Featuring a highly clever, integrated design, the central brass cylinder boasts a torch-cut keyhole mounting aperture at the reverse, allowing the sculpture to hang completely flush against your wall. The tubes are hand-joined with visible brutalist brazing, highlighting the organic movement of the metal and emphasizing its sculptural depth. See less
