AMERICAN EAGLE by Kasey Wells. I am a husband, father, artist, metal scrapper, and 2020 presidential candidate from Lexington, IL. AMERICAN EAGLE is a sculpture made from scrap metal. It is a depiction of an eagle swooping into and ripping a rattle snake out of it's nest to protect it's egg. AMERICAN EAGLE is also meant to be a symbol of America/We the People being attacked by venomous forces and fighting for survival. AMERICAN EAGLE is made of... farm implement shanks, rotors, barbell weights, window weights, leaf springs, chains, sickle sections, mower blades, watch bands, fan blades, barbed wire, rebar, a semi brake drum, pipe, etc... and a little paint. AMERICAN EAGLE took me 1 year to make and 10 years to collect the parts to create it. It weighs 5,320 lbs, stands 15ft. tall, has a wingspan of 7ft. 8in., and the nest has a depth of 66 inches. It was the #1 top prize winner at ArtPrize 2022 "the largest art competition in the world" in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
