Heavenly body is a steel sculpture created by Scott Wilkes made by welding hundreds of multi sized steel discs and small steel rods together. The colors were created by “flame painting “ which is where heat is applied to the piece via a torch to discolor the bare steel. The color is somewhat faint in low light but shows well in direct or sunlight. She stands 34 inches tall x 19 inches wide x 12.5 inches deep and weighs 45.2 pounds. She is mounted on a steel plate 16” x 12.5 “ so she may stand with grace.
To me the artist:
She is a representation of my dream world. Many galaxies and colors that float within my mind. I colored her in a way to try and express the colors of space and its randomness . It seemed obvious to me that the shape of the boundaries of my dream world would hold the form of a woman which my mind so loves to focus on and form when awake.
