“Tiny Golden Brown Jacket, ” Found Steel Sculpture

By Gordon Chandler

Located in Chicago, IL

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 the reclaimed steel with sculptural fluidity and a wry sense of form. Flattened with the center portion rolled out and the sides left open, this discarded barrel takes on the look of a miniature jacket. Coated with a golden-brown finish, the eroded metal appears as draped silk, folded back to form a simple collar with a contrasting green interior. The sculpture is finished with the artist's initials stamped...
