About the Item

Upon discovering a weathered steel drum that had been warped to resemble the sleeve of a garment, artist Gordon Chandler was inspired to embark on a series of kimono sculptures formed from found metal scraps. With an eye to the aesthetic possibilities of this humble material, Chandler invests reclaimed steel with sculptural fluidity and a wry sense of form. In this wall-mounted sculpture titled "Red Rust Jacket," a salvaged sheet of steel takes on the shape of a short-sleeved jacket or haori. The body of shirt is incised with a large free-form spiral and the sleeves are patterned with red and white stripes, remnants of the metals original powder-coated finish. Allowed to rust in the elements, the jacket has a fantastic weathered texture, mottled with iron oxidation and wear. The artist's name and date of creation have been stamped onto a small steel garment label secured to the collar.
