Poplar is cut and shaped on the band saw and sander

The tiny fish in her belly is a playful pendulum

or wherever life takes you

As the mixture cures

Desert Ochre Geode Platter P07641-P00180 Poplar is cut and shapedSusan Madacsi's work is a confluence of traditional blacksmithing and contemporary aesthetics; they address form, nature, and texture. This geode vessel is made from forged steel worked at temperatures that causes the material to glow bright orange; in this state steel is easily manipulated. Once cooled, the energy spent forming it is permanently captured in form and texture. This eye catching work is for display only. Display stand not included.
