Stephen Wakefield Steel Wall Hanging "Not So Small Crab"

Item Details

A steel wall hanging titled Not So Small Crab by Stephen Wakefield. This piece presents a metal cutout of a Maryland crab with a unique acid-wash multi-toned patina. It is ready to hang with a label to the verso.

Stephen Wakefield has been collecting found objects, primarily of metal and wood, his entire life. The self-taught artist began his professional artist’s journey when he was inspired by the metal collections housed at the Walters Art Museum in his native Baltimore. He was inspired to experiment with his vast inventory of finds gathered from Baltimore’s defunct historical buildings. Tin ceilings, commercial gears, chains, unique and ordinary metals along with wood of all sorts are transformed by Wakefield with stains, finishes, and patinas to create juxtapositions of color and form.
