Forged Ribbons No. 2 transforms steel and aluminum into a study of movement, rhythm, and material contrast. The composition suggests ribbons caught in motion, giving traditionally rigid industrial materials an unexpected sense of flexibility and flow. Contrasting surfaces allow light to move differently across each element, emphasizing changes in direction and form. Part of Ian Houghton’s Forged Iron series, this contemporary abstract metal sculpture brings together modern blacksmithing, steel fabrication, and aluminum sculpture in a dynamic work that celebrates the ability of metal to feel energetic, graceful, and alive.
