This wrought iron bolt and nut were found partially embedded in an iron oxide concretion. The embedded portion was semi protected from a century of mechanical corrosion from waves and sand while the partially exposed portion was deeply mechanically corroded resulting in a rare dual texture presentation. There are enough of the original bolt threads for the nut to spin like new in one area, it can also be completely removed.
Approx 8” long by 1” thick bolt. Nut 1” deep and 1.5” diameter.
This one of a kind object is made from materials I have found, restored and forged into a tactile hand sculpture.
It's constructed from a wrought iron bar forged around a bearing with 2 wrought iron coins riveted over the bearing with copper.
The bar freely spins around the coins and the unbalanced weight provides a pleasant wobble.
The wrought iron has been corroding in a marine environment for at least a century giving it a rare and unique texture.
A rare hefty chunk of what was most likely the top edge of a railroad track. How it broke off will never be known. Found encased in a large cobble with no indication of what was inside.
This is a truly unique and rare piece, exhibiting a strong combination of corrosion patterns that sinks into the palm of the hand with it’s heft and provides complex textures to explore.
Approximately ½ lb in the size of an egg.
2.5” length, 1.25” tall, 1” thick.
