I think it's very talented when a person can turn a piece of iron or other material into something beautiful and lifelike. One such person is Kevin Iris, who makes trees out of aluminum wire.
Kevin Iris became obsessed with growing bonsai at the age of 20 and eventually amassed a collection of more than 20 trees. It is known that the arrangement of the branches is very important when shaping a tree. The ideal shape is achieved with the help of flexible wire, byoverlays her on the branches. Sometimes Iris had to completely wrap unruly trees in wire, and at some point he suddenly realized that he could simplify the process by removing the tree. Over the years, he made dozens of wire trees that appeared in galleries and various exhibitions.
His works vary in shape and size and Iris tries to breathe life into each sculpture. The trees are made entirely of high-quality aluminum wire, require minimal maintenance and will never lose their shine. Tens of meters of aluminum wire are used for one work, this is a very labor-intensive process and takes a lot of time. For example, the tree shown below, more than half a meter wide, took about four months to make.
