Commissioned kinetic wildlife sculpture
Commission a metal creature designed to move
Ideas in Metal! / John D. Donehue Jr.
John Donehue invites custom reclaimed-metal sculpture commissions, including kinetic wildlife. His hanging fish example combines a metal outline with suspended scales; other designs may spin or remain stationary. Colors, dimensions and new ideas are discussed individually rather than offered as identical reproductions.
