"Sphere #1" by Michael Lillas, a sculpture that showcases his innovative approach to blacksmithing and passion for recycling. As a retired barrister turned artisan, Michael brings new life to discarded steel products, with this particular piece elegantly constructed from repurposed horseshoes.
"Sphere #1" stands as a testament to his creative vision and skilful craftsmanship, transforming these everyday objects into a striking spherical form. Within this structure, Michael ingeniously integrates a sub-theme of floral designs, varying in size and shape, to create a captivating visual narrative.
The natural rusting process of the steel lends the sculpture an organic, evolving aesthetic, as it gracefully weathers over time. This work not only highlights Michael's artistic talent but also reflects his commitment to sustainable art, making a profound statement about beauty and innovation in repurposed materials.
