Iron Widow

Iron Widow — Scrap Metal Sculpture — 6.5L x 4.5W x 3H

A deadly beauty of steel and patience, the spider waits — delicate, ominous, and alive with mythical presence. Both whimsical and ominous, it invites viewers to question what lurks unseen.

Iron Widow balances elegance and menace. Forged from steel fragments, she embodies the mythic spider: patient, cunning, a quiet presence of power and fate woven in metal.

The spider is an ancient archetype — weaver of worlds, spinner of fate, both feared and revered. Iron Widow embodies this duality. Forged of salvaged steel, her form is delicate yet unyielding, a predator cloaked in grace. Across mythologies, spiders are creators: the African Anansi, the Native American Grandmother Spider, the Greek Arachne. Each weaves not only silk but the stories that bind worlds together. Iron Widow is both warning and blessing — a reminder that beauty can carry danger, and patience is its own form of power. With legs that arc like steel filigree, she seems poised between stillness and strike, embodying a truth as old as myth: that what we fear may also be what holds creation itself.
