Sculpture artist Chelsea Darling creates work that builds around intentional community impact. Their work starts by questioning how art can bring healing and harmony to collective spaces. Through a variety of traditional and modern metalworking techniques, these stories and aspirations are brought to life. Chelsea owns and operates an ornamental ironwork business in Smyrna named Darling Metals, creating original metal art for individuals and communities throughout the Southeast.
Chronos One
Chelsea Darling | 2023
Chronos One is an interactive sculpture that explores themes of time, presence, and peace. Passerbyers are invited to watch time pass by with the soothing swing of the pendulum contained in this sci-seeming device. Iconically suggesting the shape of a spacecraft, this timecraft transports the viewer to precisely Now. Instead of blasting off, we are invited to look within. The rocketship becomes a shelter where we are offered a rare moment of peace.
