Hunt's resourcefulness is on full display in the Steel Bloom series. Metal was expensive so Hunt sourced much of the metal in these sculptures from Chicago Alleys and scrapyards. rather than using fabricated flat sheets of metal, these scraps provided Hunt with material that was inherently sculptural. Industrial fabrication methods, such as threaded rods and machine-drilled holes, are visible in these works. Hunt transformed urban materials into flighty, insect- and plant-like creations.
