Artist Isla Burns is known for her welded steel sculptures. This work, which is made of carefully balanced three-dimensional shapes, is a good example of the artist's skill with metal.
Burns was born in India and lived in Scotland prior to coming to Canada. Trained in Calgary and Edmonton, she has exhibited her works across Canada and around the world. She also has a number of public artworks installed permanently in Edmonton and Calgary. Although this work is abstract, its title, "Offering to Selene from the Elephant God", makes reference to a trip the artist took to the country of her birth. It also makes reference to the artist's own spiritual growth.
