This metal lady is a 28-foot tall figurative sculpture entitled “Ecstacy” that lived at Patricia Green at Hayes and Octavia Streets in San Francisco for a few years. The work of artists Dan Das Mann and Karen Cusolito, it was constructed from reclaimed steel in 2007 and was first displayed later that year at Burning Man. It held court at Patricia’s Green from 2010 until 2012. It now resides in a private collection. I always used to wonder what would happen if she started moving and walking around, perhaps in search of an oil can or some WD-40. Then again, this being San Francisco, people probably wouldn’t be fazed in the least.

she sure is something special
I wish I had scene this in person but appreciate you sharing it. Yes in SF likely people would just nod and smile if she started walking. 🙂
I doubt she would silently creep up behind you. Love the hair-do!
Epic sculpture!
She is strangely beautiful!!!
Just wondering where a private collector might keep a work like that?
The angles of your photos make her seem to be slowly dancing and weighted down by her incredible dread-lock hair style.
