Fireball Sculptural Firebowls

The Fireball is my most monumental sculptural firebowl, nearly 300 pounds of formed and welded steel. Dramatic in its bold simplicity, the Fireball is massive, monolithic, deep with meaning. The sphere is often seen as a symbol of the world, of unity, of peace and of perfection. The sheer mass of this simple orb exudes celestial presence a planetary weight and gravity.

 

Before Galileo, our world seemed circled by spheres in elliptical orbits, winking and flickering as they traveled the night sky. Early cultures saw the planets as divine presences or emissaries of the gods. Over the ages, history, mythology, science and religion looked to the sky for inspiration and answers. We set the measurement of the seasons by tracking these wandering stars, even as some ascribe to them the power to determine or reveal our fates.

Using a torch to cut the hole into a flammable gas storage tank to create a firebowl is a perfect example of how materials and ideas to work together. The meaning of the finished object is encoded in it's raw materials.

Pythagoras spoke of music in the spacing of the spheres, but we experience the heavens as points of light. We call our planets now by the names of ancient Greek gods and the meanings of those names show their origins in the sky brightness, the shiner, the fiery, the light bringer and the gleamer.  Experience the ancient reverence of a fire under the stars gathered around this gas giant of a firebowl.

The Artisanal Firebowl Dynasty Guarantee - the Artisanal Firebowls are basically indestructible, but may arrive with some marks or scratches due to the fact that they are made from recycled materials. These scratches are considered to add history and character rather than being a defect. There is a lifetime guarantee.
