Weathered Spot Welded Metal Cactus Folk Art Sculpture in Pale Blue/Green

About the Item

Sheet metal, spot-welded cactus sculpture in the perfect state of rust + paint, de-evolution…faded to the softest blue/green…beaten and battered by the natural elements and ready to grace your space with its presence… 17”W x 13.75”D x 66”H Handmade piece of American late 20th Century folk art; a piece that reflects the dictum, "more than the sum of its parts", this piece has a scale and stature we love to counterbalance a room with new things that needs the gravitas of a large piece with a hint of age. Spaces always feel so much more interesting when a large sculptural item that has survived decades of weathering is nestled amongst newer pieces, to stake a claim amongst them and remind them of their youth.
