I Cast Iron Because by Josephine Wermuth

An iron plaque with a white radiator and sledge hammer with the words "constructive destruction."

This piece is about the process of casting iron. We destroy old radiators and bathtubs and melt them to make art. The constructive destruction, the swing of the sledgehammer, is why I cast iron.
