Steel Hurricane Katrina Symbol Waterline Sculpture - Limited edition series of 80

Description

This limited edition steel wall hanging sculpture has a horizontal weld bead line to represent the high waterline of the flood waters of Hurricane Katrina. Some of these pieces are hanging in the homes of families that were flooded by the storm surge. The piece is cut from 3/16" thick steel, is 11" tall, is mildly distressed and the eye is defined using only heat and metal. The date 8.29.05 is stamped on the front and the series number and JD is marked on the back. Brackets are welded to the back to allow hanging on a wall with a hook or a nail. The sculpture mounts 3/4" from the wall. A clear coating is applied to prevent rust when installed in interior and exterior environments. It can be ordered in bare rusted steel for exterior applications as shown in one of the photos.

Designed and made by:
John Doherty
Denver, CO via New Orleans & Slidell, LA

The edition size of 80 was selected because Hurricane Katrina flooded 80% of New Orleans.

A certificate of authenticity is included.

The item pictured may or may not be the exact one you purchase. All pieces of the series are very similar,but due to the nature of welding by hand and the random results of coloring metal with heat, all pieces have their own individual characteristics.
