Description: Cigarette butt cast in solid bronze I hot cast this piece in solid bronze from an actual cigarette butt, with all the fine details of paper seams, filter, paper wrinkles (from being put out), and ash tip preserved in this interesting solid bronze sculpture. This is an original, one of a kind solid bronze mini-sculpture I handmade in my workshop, not to be found anywhere else. My cast bronze cigarette butts can be used as a standalone table top mini-sculpture or can be displayed along with your ashtray collection, and is definitely an unusual conversation starter. My solid bronze objet d'art small sculptures are developed using the ancient technique of lost wax casting. Permanence of the impermanent is actualized by transforming delicate or organic objects that are discarded or otherwise decay into mini-sculptures that can potentially last millennia after being cast in solid bronze. My small bronze sculptures represent a cryptic one way communication with anyone in the future who might come across them, and I'm inviting you to join the discussion and become its temporary steward to that distant future conversation.
