Sirens Of TI Chopper
The Sirens Of TI Chopper is a motor-sculpture I designed then created
in my studio for Metroplotian Choppers LLC of Frederick, MD. The
piece was commissioned by Treasure Island Casino in Las Vegas to
capture the essence of their Sirens Of TI show which is played out daily
on the Las Vegas strip.
The project took six months to complete. I attemped to take the raw
energy of the powerful motorcycle and transform it into the motion of a
seductive Siren rising out of the sea and beckoning to unsuspecting
sailors. I cut, forged, bent, shaped and welded mild steel to create the
sculpture. I envision her as an ancient but dynamic force rising up out
of the ocean.
The Siren chopper is now on permanent display to the public on the
casino floor at Treasure Island Hotel & Casino in LV.
