Artist Turns Nuts, Bolts, and Scrap Metal Into Life-Size Animal Sculptures
While most of us dispose of old car parts and unused cutlery at the dump, Aloha, Oregon-based artist Brian Mock turns scrap metal into fantastic outdoor sculptures. He collects use and discarded materials—such as screws, nuts, and bolts—and assembles them into human and animal forms. Mock has been exploring a number of artistic practices from an early age, but discovered his love of upcycling art in the 1990s.
