A Barrelful of Filigree: the sculpture of Cal Lane

Cal Lane is a Canadian sculptor who specialises in reappropriating derelict industrial objects into beautifully complex forms. Her work is especially poignant in this era of rapid urban decay (think Detroit) and challenges viewer preconceptions of an object’s inherent qualities.
