Contemporary metal artist and designer MissFire brings a fresh new perspective to three-dimensional metal sculpture. Her artistic background and fascination with complex details found in nature inspires her passion to create. Sixteen years experience working with metal has given MissFire a profound ability to manipulate steel, imbuing it with a graceful, seemingly effortless fluidity. By heating the metal in her forge, it becomes malleable and responsive, allowing her to create the designs fed by her vivid imagination. She aims to capture the transience of nature, transforming it into pieces that are permanent and enduring. Work is produced on a variety of scales from 22mm to 22ft.
Perhaps best recognised for her ongoing Botanical Sculpture Series of ‘larger than life’ floral subjects. They are vibrant and dramatic, yet delicate and ornate. Beginning in 2012, the series now includes 17 sculptures of varying sizes, for indoor or outdoor display. Applying colour to the steel is a technique MissFire has gradually explored and developed to achieve ever more complex and satisfying colour combinations, breathing life into each piece. All previous designs are available to commission but her thoughts are usually directed towards the latest new idea and challenge. This year will see five new pieces added to the collection.
MissFire’s interest in flowers lies within their unique power to evoke emotional response and trigger memories. Each flower has its own symbolism and the ability to transport a person to another time or place, reminding us of loved ones or times gone by.
