Upon discovering a weathered steel drum that had been warped to resemble the sleeve of a garment, Atlanta-based artist Gordon Chandler was inspired to embark on a series of kimono sculptures formed from found metal scraps. This "Tiny Tot" jacket sculpture is a miniature version of his larger, wall-mounted kimono works and is comprised of a single piece of folded sheet metal. Manipulating rigid materials to behave like silken fabrics, Chandler exploits the latent beauty of rusted and weathered metals to create compositions full of texture and character.

The artist's initials have been stamped into the collar of the jacket sculpture in place of a garment label.
