Palm Leaves

Forged iron, rust patina · 2022 · 18x36in each

Palm fronds translated to sheet iron — veins hammered, edges rusted, shade made permanent. Harvest, shelter and eastern India in leaves that never wilt, each 18x36in, finished by weather as much as by the forge.

Frond

A single frond in sheet iron — midrib and veins worked hot, rust blooming along every cut like late sun.

Patina

Close grain of rust and shadow — the finish the forge begins and the monsoon completes.
