"Mating Plumage" is a striking lifesize sculpture realized in Corten and Stainless Steel. This artwork captures the essence of a dancer in motion, rendered in abstract, geometric forms. The figure is elongated and slender, its limbs positioned to evoke the fluidity of dance, with a focus on dynamic motion rather than overt realism.

The sculpture's use of negative space and intricate cutouts contributes to its layered complexity, inviting the viewer to delve into its modern aesthetic. The interplay between the rusted Corten steel and the polished stainless steel lends a rich visual contrast, underscoring the blend of strength and grace inherent in the medium. Inspired by the vibrant energy of Latin street dancing from "West Side Story," the piece exudes a sense of kinetic vitality.

The corten steel is a self-weathering steel developed for bridge building.  After it develops a rustly patina, it stop rusting.  The combination of corten and stainless will last for decades in the garden.
