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.
With a few careful folds and thoughtful use of pattern, this discarded industrial steel takes on the look of a miniature jacket. With open sides and a folded collar, the rigid steel is reimagined as draped fabric, colored with blue and yellow powder coating and patterned with graphic text that hints at the reclaimed metal's earlier use. The petite sculpture is finished with the artist's initials stamped at the neckline in place of a garment label.
