I have always been intrigued by jellyfish. They seem so otherworldly and embody such elegance and fluidity, and of course my favorite quality: repetition.

This metal jellyfish sculpture took many iterations to get to a final product I felt happy with. It was challenging to get the head intricate but not overwhelming and to keep it bright enough. It's also not the simplest task getting steel rods to seem weightless and fluid, but hey it wouldn't be as fun if it was all easy, right? Each tentacle was individually shaped, and I colored them through the full heat patina spectrum from blue through purple to gold to get that translucent quality jellyfish have in the water.

This jellyfish sculpture can be wall hanging or free hanging, made entirely of stainless steel, colored using only heat patinas, and must be kept indoors!
