About Classic Cone 23-062

The large pine cone sculptures by Floyd Elzinga have become beloved and collected classics that now grace many public venues in the country. The Canadian artist has acquired a reputation as a superb craftsman—each pine cone is hand forged; its dynamic form mirrors the natural shape. This large pine cone is made from corten steel and features a rich rust-coloured patina. Suitable for display indoors or out.

“I love the way light plays off the surface." Floyd Elzinga

“Much like a painter with a brush, Elzinga uses metal-working machinery to create textures and strokes, with a color palette determined through means of polishing, burnishing, sanding, grinding, rusting, or heating.”
Paul McAtomney, Landscape Architects Network
