Biomechanical Evolution Series — Christyn Overstake

Biomechanical Evolution Series #113. 33.5186N, 86.8104W. Whiting. Detail.

This piece includes a large iron casting, produced from subtractive bonded sand mold. The rest of the steel structure was fabricated around and in response to the energy and explosive nature of the casting. The casting is primed and painted with enamel, with the intention of slight rust bleed over time, and the steel is painted with high quality professional graffiti paint for outdoor durability.
