Galvanizing delight

Silencio, Manuel Martí

Manuel Martí constructs the ethereal, fluctuating and incomplete sculptures, one of his latest being ’Silencio’. A combination of welded bolts are used to create the sculpture which once finished, is hot dip galvanized.

With some variations on the design, a paint coating is applied to reflect the passing of time.
