Artist Robert Bradford’s Fire Sculptures

Artist Robert Bradford sculpts with fire: first he creates large sculptures out of wood, and then set them on fire to get the final (and transient) effect - this one is (was, I suppose) "Man with Something in Mind."

I think that that "something" is the realization that it’s going to be set on fire! Link (www.robertbradford.co.uk)
