The Phoenix + Flames Sculptural Fire Pit reveals the poetry inspiring even my simplest designs— using a torch to cut flame images into a flammable gas storage tank to create a fire pit which can then be plumbed for gas is a perfect example of how I like materials and ideas to work together. That kind of layered metaphor is what I enjoy most about working with recycled materials. Even the natural patina of the sculptures relates directly back to flame in it’s coloration— fiery reds, oranges, yellows and blacks.
On every Fire Sculptural Fire Pit I cut, there is a stylized flame in the shape of a phoenix rising through the embers to symbolize the rebirth of scrap steel into something new and wonderful. The phoenix is always the first flame I cut into the bowl, the beginning of its transformation.
As Gabriel Guzman writes in The Daily Book of Art:
“Who would have thought that a bowl of fire could be so beautiful? Hand-cut out of recycled steel, these bowls combine sculpture and function to create unique works of art with industrial flair that provide warmth and an exciting centerpiece for events. When in use, the flame-like edges of these bowls cast mesmerizing shadows that dance across the ground, acting as part of the art.”

Lindy –
We purchased this fire pit from your own website many years ago and LOOOOOOOOVED it! Our home burned down in the Malibu-Woosley wildfires, and your bowl was the only thing that survived. We have been keeping it in my Mom’s yard for the last 2.5 years while we have been rebuilding our house in the same location. We are getting close to being able to move back in and the first thing we plan to do is sit at our fire pit and just stare at the ocean from our deck! That’s it! That’s all we have been talking about for 2.5 years:) Which reminds me, I need to buy a rounded bench to curve around your bowl as soon as I sign off here!
Thank you for your beautiful work. It is not just our favorite activity (allowing us to enjoy the cold coastal nights outside) and an exquisite piece of art— it is a the only connection we have between what we lost and what we are building now, so it has powerful sentimental meaning.
