Big Boots

2006 • Denver, Colorado

The Big Boots are giant, 7 foot tall size 84 cowboy boots.

They have designs in them based on Mexican Pitiado embroidery patterns, Cowboy Deco architecture, Navajo Rugs, and Gene Autry's stage costumes.

The cowboy boot is a creation of the American West, a melding of European and Native American styles, ideas, and needs. Originally a utilitarian work boot, the cowboy boot has been adopted over the years by presidents and ranch hands, high school kids and rock and rollers, truck drivers and movie stars.

These Big Boots are hand forged and fabricated from stainless steel, textured hotand hand bent into circles and arrows, welded together into one solid sculpture.

Electropolished after fabrication, they are shiny and silver.

Forged and fabricated stainless steel.
