Metal Kimonos

Artist Gordon Chandler creates these metal kimonos as part of his work.

Sculpting industrial cast-offs into iconic Kimono shapes, there’s a great basic tension in Gordon Chandler’s work that comes from the tactile differences between his materials and subjects.

The contrasts are the natural outcome of his Duchampian use of found materials. “I have a very practical bent,” he says, “I use things of very little value and elevate them. I study the objects that we decorate our lives with and reconfigure them in my own language.”
