“Krazy Karen” Steel & Copper Figure Sculpture — Silver City Artist, 69”
Playful, expressive, and full of character, “Krazy Karen” is a welded steel and copper sculpture created by a Silver City, New Mexico artist. Standing approximately 69 inches tall, this mixed-media figure combines industrial forms with humor and imagination. The piece features spiral copper “bazongas,” movable copper bracelets, jingle-bob earrings, and a mesh “purse” filled with colorful glass elements. Wire “hair” and articulated components lend the work a lively, kinetic presence, while the rich rust-toned patina and oxidized copper give it earthy visual warmth.
Krazy Karen reflects the inventive folk-modern style often associated with Southwestern metal artisans, transforming reclaimed materials into an animated, almost totemic personality. A delightful conversation piece indoors or out, it comes with two removable ground stands for secure display.
