A big puffy heart made of black steel. This hollow black steel heart is crafted by hand using the inflated steel technique. A heart shape is cut flat in sheet steel, welded together around the border, then heated to orange hot in a blacksmith forge. Once the steel heart is glowing tangerine white orange hot, it is immediately inflated using compressed air. The soft steel sheet puffs out like a balloon, shooting black scale everywhere and creating this unique puffy heart shape with a bespoke black oxide finish. This version of the steel heart sculpture also has a black bar stock heart welded right through the center. The surface of this big puffy heart is a raw, inconsistent sooty scale that is not sealed and changes over time. Each puffy heart is made similarly but each heart has a uniquw surface and is one of a kind. Two steel rings are welded on the back so this puffy heart easily hangs on your wall with only two screws.
