Blacksmith

Adeola Balogun

The Centenary Project
Lagos, Nigeria

The Blacksmith forges gold and metals into different things. This sculpture depicts his assistant blowing hot air into the bellows. It brings about a kind of rhythm which the blacksmith seems to enjoy. The sculpture is life size and made in bronze and the second version is made with fibre.
