Metal
This tag marks artwork made from or centered on metal, whether that’s sculpture welded and shaped from steel, or work made using scrap and found metal pieces. Metal as a material rewards a very different set of skills than paint or clay, cutting, welding, bending, and finishing, and it holds up in a way softer materials don’t. Use this tag to find work built on this tough, industrial material, from polished sculptural pieces to rougher, reclaimed metal art with a story behind each found piece.
