RECYCLED METAL SCULPTURES- 423-341-6718(erik@recycledmetalsculptures.com)

 

I WILL BE  AT THE "BLOOMS DAYS FESTIVAL" AT THE UT GARDENS(ON THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE'S AGRICULTURE CAMPUS) IN JUNE ON THE 28TH AND THE 29TH*** YES, ONE OF MY PIECES "ANVIL FIRE" WAS SELECTED FOR BRISTOL'S 2007 SCULPTURE WALK BUT THEY DID'NT HAVE THE $ TO PAY ME MY STIPEND. APPARENTLY THE SCULPTURES WERE PICKED IN NUMERICAL ORDER AND MY PIECE WAS PICKED 8TH. I NOW KNOW THAT SOME SCULPTURE COMPITETIONS WORK IN THIS MANNER AND WILL NOT PARTICIPATE  IN ANY THAT DO THIS. "ANVIL FIRE"(ALL BLACK) PICTURED ON THIS PAGE, TOP AND TO THE RIGHT WAS THE ONE THAT WAS PICKED... GOOD ENOUGH FOR BRISTOL TN./VA. OR ANY OTHER CITY FOR THAT MATTER...  THIS AREA IS SO FRIENDLY TOWARDS LOCAL ARTISTS. I GUESS IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN "ARTS DEGREE" YOUR NOT FOR REAL...... WRONG..... THE WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. PLAIN AND SIMPLE.......E.J.B.   CUSTOM IRON SCULPTURES....

(erik@recycledmetalsculptures.com)   BOYCOTT KINGSPORTS SCULPTURE WALK!!!NEW! THE PISTON TREE. ALL 7 BRANCHES COME OUT OF THE 100 YEAR OLD MAPLE TREE BRANCH THAT I USED AS A BASE. TREE IS THEN SITTING ON A PIECE OF STEEL -C- CHANNEL ,THAT MAKES CONTACT WITH THE GROUND. ALL THE PISTONS ARE FROM H-D MOTORCYCLE ENGINES. THAT PIECE OF MAPLE CAME FROM A 100 PLUS YEAR TREE THAT WAS CUT DOWN LAST YEAR (DUE TO ROT). THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE USED METAL AND WOOD TOGETHER IN THE SAME SCULPTURE. BOYCOTT KINGSPORTS SCULPTURE WALK!!!!!!!!

*** SOME IMAGES MAY TAKE A LITTLE LONGER TO LOAD THAN OTHERS!!!! NEW VELOCIPEDE BICYCLE SCULPTURE. ANOTHER FULL SIZE PIECE. FRONT WHEEL IS OFF OF AN OLD HAYRAKE AND ITS REAR WHEEL IS FROM A VINTAGE WOODEN WHEELBARROW. FRONT WHEEL IS STATIONARY BUT THE REAR WHEEL SPINS TO MAKE FOR EASIER MOVEMENT OF THE SCULPTURE. IT HAS BRACKETS ON THE BOTTOM OF THE FRONT WHEEL THAT ARE STAKED OR BOLTED DOWN WHICH MAKES IT SUITABLE FOR ANY LEVEL SURFACE...NEAT....



  A VERY HAPPY BANJO PLAYER ...   FLYWHEEL FOR A HAT AND BANJO BODY, BALL PIEN HAMMER FOR A NOSE, HARD RAKE PIECES FOR HANDS & FINGERS, AND A NICE OLD STEEL CHAIR MAKE THIS A FUN SCULPTURE. I HAVE MADE QUITE A FEW OF THESE BANJO PLAYERS,BUT NO 2 WERE EVER THE SAME.....

"WE WANT TO BE IN THE SCULPTURE WALK, BUT WE HAVE NO "PAPERS".  "IF WE ALL STAND ON TOP OF EACH OTHER,WILL WE BE TALL ENOUGH TO BE DOWNTOWN"? MAYBE. I HOPE SO....
