Details

After a hike across desert landscapes, a man relaxes in the scant shade of a saguaro cactus in this whimsical sculpture. Armando Ramírez crafts the image from an amazing assortment of recycled metal and automobile parts. Sheet metal scraps, a spark plug, washers, die-cut scraps and wire all find a new life in this unique sculpture.

The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.

“Metal ingenuity.”

I absolutely love this piece. It sits on my desk, always in sight. There is a realness, somehow, to him. I have my eye on several other pieces by Armando Ramirez for seasonal gifts for my daughters. This is a clever artist cleverly using re-purposed materials.

It makes me smile - and meditate on the nuances of this Rustic Relaxer
