Artist Fun Fact: The idea to make a Chinese Dragon came when my scrap guy offered a scrap spiral conveyer machine. I used the conveyer frame to support the dragon. Bing’s construction is a steel-rod armature covered with salvaged stainless steel. If Bing was stretched out, she would be over 50 feet long.

In Chinese mythology Dragons are protectors and guardian spirts. The pearl (gazing ball) represents the item, person or location being protected. The title Bing honors my Chinese friend who I was lucky enough to travel to China with.
