My Night in San Francisco — When I Fell in Love with Ecstasy
<p>Her name is ‘Ecstasy’. She stands thirty feet tall. She weighs six tons.</p>
<p>This love of my life used to be trash. But now she is trash no more. Salvaged and recycled steel make up this unusual sculpture.</p>
<p>The artists that created Ecstasy, Karen Cusolito and Dan Das Mann, wanted to use reclaimed materials. They wanted to share an environmental message.</p>
<p>They used found objects, structural steel scrap and old machine and car parts to create Ecstasy’s body. The long flowing strands of her hair are old, retired lifting chains. The support for the large sculpture was crafted from Schedule-40 ten-inch pipe. The pipe was harvested from a closed factory in Oakland, California.</p>
