These pieces are crafted in Haiti using repurposed
metal, the artisans following in the footsteps of renowned Haitian
blacksmith and artist George Liataud. Liataud pioneered this art form in
the mid 1950s, using steel oil drums, railway spikes, and flattened tin
sheets to fashion imaginative representations of animals, mermaids,
humans, and spiritual forms.  As is the tradition, the design is first
chalked onto a flattened steel oil drum, then cut
out by hand with a mallet and chisel.  Unpainted works may be used
inside, or outside where they will
patina over time.  If patination is not desired, outdoor pieces can be
sprayed with a clear coat (such as Krylon crystal) every 18 to 24 months.
