I had some old leaf springs around after putting new ones on my truck. the interestingness of the metal I knew would lend themselves to some kind of nice aesthetic shape and I came up with this idea after a while, though it was a few months before I actually put it together. the middle joining pieces are parts of the springs as well. no cutting of the parts was needed, aside from what I had to do to disassemble the spring packs.

once I had my metal shop stuff in order, this only took two or three hours total to do. a wire brush on my 4 1/2" grinder got a lot of the rust and loose paint off making these look much cleaner, while retaining a bit of the "weathered" texture.

From a night of shitposting with friends. Good times.

The bronze nine foot tall DuBois metalwork statue can be found alongside a creek in a downtown DuBois pocket park called the Twisted Garden. In this piece, the artist Richard Wilson portrays an abstract human holding a star above the statue’s head.
