human nails #10 Sculpture

human nails #10 consists of many individual wire nails that have been connected to each other through targeted welding points and thus unite to form an abstracted, human shape. Similar to the sculpture series "human flow", Manfred Hellweger also creates a whole from many individual parts. Each nail stands for a thought, an emotion, or a feeling in the life of a person. The artist has cast the base from fiber-reinforced and frost-resistant concrete, which makes this work ideal for outdoor use. The custom-made brushed larch wood formwork transferred the vivid wood grain into the concrete base. Hellweger treated the steel sculpture with hydrochloric acid and exposed it to the elements for a month to create an even layer of oxidation. The color of the sculpture may still change if placed outdoors. All sculptures by Manfred Hellweger are unique.
