Stainless Steel Sculpture – WISH Cole Talbot

A charming, whimsical piece of stainless and mild steel. Each piece is hand-cut, hammered and welded to achieve the look of a dandelion seed light enough to float away with a wish. The background of the piece is textured and treated to create the landscape that the seed is floating by. One of the amazing properties of the texturing is that it looks like different colours in different lights. This one-of-a-kind steel work is sure to please.

Size: 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″, ready to hang, or use the custom-made steel fold-out stand to set on a shelf or desk.

The Artist: Growing up in a rural area close to Lake Erie, ON, Cole Talbot always chose time along the creek bank and hiking in the woods over video games and being indoors. Cole has always been a “Dare to be Different” kind of guy. At 16 yrs. old he began etching out his own path by fusing together his love of nature and welding, creating his first distinctive piece now entitled “The Beginning”. Through years of formal training Cole developed his skilled welding expertise. His self-taught artistic abilities are fueled by his curious mind and adventurous spirit.

A passion for nature continues to kindle his creativity spending his free time kayaking, camping, rock climbing or simply driving the countryside to see where the dirt roads take him. Cole Talbot draws upon the great outdoors to inspire his unique, one-of-a-kind, custom creations. Since diving into his art full-time almost ten years ago, this young man has become a respected and sought-after artisan. With his work stretching across Canada and internationally Cole continues to enhance and evolve his craft to meet the ever-growing unique projects he is being commissioned to create.
