Project: Luke Kelly

Customer: Vera Klute / Dublin City Council

Scope of works: BA Steel Fabrication recently had the pleasure, to design and fabricate Luke Kelly’s hair and moustache along with designer Vera Klute. These were fabricated from 4mm copper patina metal. The large marble bust is placed in his home town of north Dublin, Sheriff Street. BA Steel Fabrication were contracted by the artist for the process of bending, welding the metal and installing into the stone head. The pose is based on a performance of Scorn not his Simplicity. Luke’s hair strands fabricated from wire which was twisted and each strand formed in a very realistic way.
