Music to my ears

Represents the metaphor for hearing pleasant news and sounds 
 
Details:
 
The musical notes and ear are made of 1/4” thick SS316, manually GMA (MIG) welded to the ¼” thick Carten steel plate, holding them in place and reinforced by SS316 load bearing studs.
To form the rust patina on the Corten steel stand, it was chemically oxidized by etching.  
The sculpture is 52" high, 48” wide and 17" deep and it weighs about 310 lbs. The dimensions of its wooden or marble base are 63”x28.5”x5.5”.
The base of the sculpture to which it is bolted is stained and clear coated lumber, which is firmly anchored to the ground.
The sculpture, which can be displayed either indoors or outdoors on a wooden or marble base, is designed to be disassembled from its base, transported and readily reassembled by bolting in place.
