"Lane is intrigued by contrasts in feminine and male conventions, and uses her welding torch to cut doilies and baroque patterns into mundane objects such as wheel barrows, I-beams, dumpsters and shovels. These objects, once relied upon for their durability, are transformed via oxyacetylene torch into delicate and decorative skeletons."
this is a dumpster that Cal Lane has "filigreed" with a torch.
this is from a piece called "filigree car bombing"--the exquisite and disturbing irony of applying a decorative motif to something quite horrific and all too familiar
