notes

zerzura is one of the few works of mine made from carbon steel. all steels work and weld differently, and the final look is affected too. On this piece the colored bits are hand painted by me - i have since moved on to powdercoat painting details for added durability and quality.

named after a mythical oasis sought in the film "The English Patient."

if you think you heard a cockatiel in the video for this piece, well, you did. and if you are into cockatiels, check out the links section - i think i will have my birds featured more prominently in my next video...

42" tall,
 welded steel, interactive,
hand-painted red,
4-6 7/8" steel balls
