Lending a Hand

Recycled Metal Two-Climber Sculpture

Handcrafted from reclaimed and recycled metal — giving new life to industrial materials, meaning no two are ever the same.

The hardest part of any climb is knowing someone’s got your back.

Lending a Hand is a handcrafted metal sculpture made from reclaimed industrial components — steel wire, nuts, bolts and yellow rope detail — welded by hand and mounted on a solid timber display base. Two figures scale a deep navy blue wall: one has reached the top and turns back, arm outstretched, to pull the other up. It’s a piece that speaks to mentorship, friendship, and the simple truth that we go further together.

It’s the kind of piece that earns its place on a shelf, a desk or a windowsill — and starts conversations every time.

Work with your hands, heal your mind.
