Hand Held are cast iron sculptures made by casting the shape inside the artists cupped hands. Hand Held are intended to be touched and held. Each sculpture is solid iron, and weighs about 680 grams.
These sculptures were initially created as part of a series of artworks created using iron made at the Glenbrook Steelworks, that mines black magnetic sand and transform that sand into iron, and then steel.
Each bronze sculpture sits on a rimu wooden base, made by hand from recycled wood. Finished with linseed oil, these wooden bases were originally mid-century stair treads.

These sculptures are created using the lost wax method. Initially made in Plaster of Paris, the cast is made in solid bronze, and finished by coating with a wax based polish. The object is safe and comfortable to hold. Over time, signs of oxidisation can be remediated using metal polish and a soft cloth.
