I love the fact that her artworks are formed from mundane waste such as oil drums and metal objects e.g. wheelbarrows and shovels. She transforms them into, lacy, ornate metal artworks by welding intricate patterns into them but they still retain the perfect shape/outline of the object, a sort of silhouette. The bold outline of the object contrasts beautifully with the smaller detail contained within it. I am drawn to the rawness of the steel. It gives a sense of earthiness, a sort of organic quality. Its masculine and feminine at the same time. Unique!
