Houston Civic Art Collection | Aloe Vera Pin
attraction
An oxidized silver aloe vera pin by Heidi Gerstacker, on display as part of Hobby Airport’s civic art collection.
Description
Dating from 2009, the piece is shaped like an aloe vera leaf, reflecting German-born, Houston-based maker Heidi Gerstacker’s background in metal jewelry. Its finish relies on a chemical process with sulfides to darken the metal surface, yielding a distinct patina and added durability within the Houston Airport System collection.
