Steel Stand – Provides stability and adds industrial presence

Inner Tubes & Thin Tires – Wrap the legs for a flexible, raw aesthetic

Design Story:

This sculpture was born from fear, literal arachnophobia.

“Both the presence and even the anticipation of spiders sends me into a state of panic. I created this piece to face that fear and maybe help others do the same.”

The sculpture’s haunting form combines natural realism with post-industrial texture. The abdomen’s circular volume and outstretched legs command attention, while the black tire relief creates a tactile, almost armor-like surface.

Display & Placement:

Best suited for indoor display. Can be placed in studios, galleries, or bold home interiors. Steel base keeps it freestanding and grounded

Care Instructions:

Dust gently with dry cloth. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight to preserve tire integrity. Handle with care due to steel edges and structure

A Singular Conversation Piece. No molds, no copies this is a one-of-a-kind sculpture, both in its materials and its emotional narrative. It challenges, intrigues, and invites reflection.
