Robin Wight, a talented photographer based in the U.K., creates enchanting fairy sculptures out of stainless steel wires. Each is dynamic and lively, as though it might hop away and disappear at any moment with a spritely giggle.
Each fairy is based on a thick and crude skeleton that is gradually wrapped with finer and finer wires, giving them muscle mass and, finally, “skin.” At the core of each fairy is a pebble that Wight leaves there as a signature of his work. Some of the stones also have engraved messages on them. Wight also creates giant dandelions that seem to disintegrate in the wind, despite their being made of steel.
