Cal Lane

Cal Lane (born 1968) is a Canadian sculptor, known for creating delicate, lacy sculptures out of industrial steel products.

Lane was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia in 1968[1] and raised on Vancouver Island, where she trained as a hairdresser and a welder.

[3] Cal Lane uses a plasma cutter or an oxy-acetylene torch to cut intricate patterns into industrial steel products.

Fred A. Bernstein wrote in The New York Times: "The work is about the contrasts between the industrial and the fanciful, the opaque and the transparent.

"[5] Lori Zimmer wrote: "Lane enjoys pushing the dichotomy of feminine and masculine by combining patterns of domesticity with these cold, harsh symbols of masculine blue collar labor.
