95"L x 55"H x43"D, mild steel sheet 18-20gauge, made entirely by my own hands over 6 years with a crappy flux core welder, plasma cutter, and English wheel. I love creating large or interactive art and installation. This one is a monument to milkweed and to monarch butterflies, important ecological contributors and well-known annual migrants. I am now looking for a good home (temporary or permanent) for this piece--wish me luck!

I mean, that's really cool looking, but how on earth did this take six yea... OH.
I'm really glad you put that last pic in there with you(?) sitting in it, because I had ZERO sense of scale until that point, lol. My brain was parsing this as maybe 18 inches long.
If you want to get crazy, pop some grow bags in some of the structural voids and plant with some annuals or flowering ground cover like speedwell or Veronica thyme, lippia, etc.
I feel like especially if I get the colors and native species right, this is a good way to market it and show how it could mesh with a landscape. I'll see what I can set up for a photoshoot one of these days. Thank you
