While spending the day in San Francisco I stumbled upon this statue of a massive, towering woman titled Ecstasy, by Karen Cusolito and Dan Das Mann.
Her body is so graceful, lithe and perfectly proportioned while being constructed of repurposed pieces of chunky, rusty metal.
I know it’s a little atypical of my posts, but I just had to share her with all of you. Can’t you imagine a smaller version of her strategically placed in the garden?
Enjoy!

She is exquisite… to have that kind of talent to create such beauty from scrap metal is truly a gift. I knew I should have gone to welding school!
Sheila – you and me both! As much as I love rusty old metal, I should’ve gone to welding school, too!
In my next life I’ll probably be thinking about math or science just to make me crazy… I just hope to remember that welding is right up there with gardening
😉
now that would be some mean garden art!! she’s gorgeous. what lovely grace and detail. and rusty iron is so organic looking that it usually blends well with the plantings.
Mean garden art, indeed. Yet oh so graceful!
This is incredible! I like how they used so many different types of metal scraps…so well done. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by ‘Sage’!
I would totally love a smaller version of this in my garden or yard. Including the foot in the picture definately gave a better idea of the detail that went into this gorgeous sculpture!
Thanks Renee – I only wish I had more close-ups to show everyone. Thanks for stopping by!
So glad you included the closeup of the foot! Amazing delicacy. And those ribs look especially intriguing. Thanks for this find!
Hi Denise – so glad you like it! My camera’s battery was almost dead, otherwise I would’ve taken more close-ups. Even so, I think the foot gives a pretty good idea of the intricacy involved in creating this sculpture.
