Chinese Calligraphy has always fascinated me. I created this sculpture with admiration for ink brush strokes on paper.This piece represents the Rabbit in a hybrid form, the calligraphic actual writing below and a three dimension leaping on top. All the elements are created from recycled materials. They are formed using an acetylene torch and an electric welder. The surfaces are wire brushed and coated with exterior paint,

The steel elements of the sculpture are heated with an acetylene torch, hammered, shaped and stick welded. After brushing the surface with an electric wire wheel, the surface is coated with paint.
