Ironclad

For the past few months we have been visiting a restaurant

in the city usually on Saturdays, it's called Heartwood.

They have a really good brunch that we like.

The owner is also an artist who works with iron/metals.

So this past weekend we brought in our cameras

 to try and capture some of his work.

Here is Ron pretending to look at menu.......

don't know why because he always orders his favourite,

tofu scrammble.

I usually order their bean burrito

 that is jam-packed with scrammbled eggs, cheese and other goodies.

But this time I ordered their black bean burger because

it is burger week in Halifax and it sounded really good,

which it was.

So as I am yaking away you may have noticed the iron/metal sculptures

that were in close proximity to our table.

The one directly above is a long arm reaching down

and I thought that since it looked like it was reaching for the tulips

it provided a dramatic contrast in texture.

And the one that was above Ron's head at our table,

was very well done .

I like the spine, don't you? It is made from a bicycle chain.

This piece was across the room near the bar....

in fact on the bar.

There were a number of these all around the restaurant

that were less three dimensional.

And since I did ask the owner/artist if I could take a few shots,

I will leave information about his FB page and website.
