Pressure: Sci-Fi Industrial Chemical Tank Sculpture

Pressure

Steel Sculpture features a mix of Sci-Fi industrial theme with a dash of steampunk.

An abandoned chemical facility may hold a dark secret.
All but one of a series of tanks have been drained. What is in this remaining mysterious reservoir?

The pressure builds causing the thick steel tank to buckle and swell.
As a gauge moves into the ominously red marked danger zone, a foreboding glow emanates through the porthole window.

What will be released if the tank ruptures?

Industrial Metal Art for a boardroom, reception area, or home decoration to make a powerful impact.

If you want to make an impression this is the artwork for you.

It is made from steel metal plate and thick iron pipes aged and painted to give a realistic industrial feel. 

The brass pressure gauge indicator needle hovers in the red, and you know.... 

...yes my friend, this is a place where things are about to happen....

With a glowing porthole window, people will know that you mean business!

Sculpture features a mix of Sci-Fi industrial theme with a dash of steampunk. Mystery chemical through 'porthole' pulsates with a subtle menacing glow.
...Probably a good idea not to drink it...
Art work constructed from found objects, metal - steel, glass, plastic, paint and a custom built electronic circuit. It is internally lit, and features a subtle green glow that pulsates in a random fashion.
It has been rusted and aged using non-toxic chemicals that have been neutralised to prevent further aging, and then the surface has been sealed and fixed using a matt clear coating.
The electronics requires 4 AA size batteries.
