Carved Acrylic + Cast Polyurethane Resin

Final composition of this wild chain link fence + cast padlocks!

Last year I left teaching and began working as a cnc machinist. What a learning curve…it had been seven years since I worked with a cnc or digital rendering programs
This was many months in the making and I had many doubts about it along the way

Very happy and hope y’all enjoy! taken in Anderson Ranch Arts Center by @bottomfreezer
