the Crab
by Joy Heylen. artist's statement: For me, making art is a commitment to the traditions and the techniques of the old age blacksmiths utilising a blend of age old techniques and modern and cutting edge technologies. I love to express my ideas about beauty in an organic and original way and am energised by breaking the boundaries of steel. 'The Crab' is an innovative blend of cutting edge technology and blacksmith techniques. The scale and luminosity of pattern and overlaying steel sections create a site majestic presence.
