Bob Dylan, the legendary singer-songwriter, has always been associated with music, but few people know that he has a long-standing connection with iron working. Dylan grew up surrounded by iron mines and factories, where he was exposed to the smell and feel of iron on a daily basis. As he once said, "I've always worked with it in one form or another." This sculpture is an artistic representation of Dylan's upbringing and boyhood spent around metal tools and scrap metal instruments, reflecting his upbringing in an area with a thriving iron industry, especially in the mining of iron ore. 

The 'Iron Wall Hanging IV' is a striking circular sculpture, measuring 74x74 and made entirely from recycled iron chains and vintage metal objects. This unique piece of art is a confident and powerful representation of Dylan's upbringing, featuring a range of metal tools. It's a tribute to the iron industry and the mining of iron ore, which had a significant impact on the artist's childhood.

 Dylan refers to his sculptures as "Gates," as they serve as a way to transport the viewer into the time and place of his youth. These sculptures are meant to be portals into another world, one of industry, mines, and furnaces.
