work to scale against six foot person
Storm recalls for Hypergallery the making of this fantastical image:
The sultry rock music of Audioslave seemed to suit the brooding power of volcanoes, not that we knew what to do with them at first. Eventually we imagined a volcanic landscape with a graphic flame Peter was working on “plonked” in the middle of it. An eternal flame symbolising how two deceased banks, Soundgarden and Rage Against The Machine lived on in the reincarnation called Audioslave.
This shape that looked like a hand or flame was turned into a large sculpture made of beaten bronze, like a sounding brass. The little figure is playing homage to the sculpture and acting as both a size and a reference point. A pilgrimage to the mystic sounding brass set in the volcanic wastelands of Lanzarote – paying homage to an eternal flame (Audioslave) as any slave to sound should.
