Recently I have been fascinated with the tradies and handymen of facebook marketplace selling their scraps. The composition, lighting and angles of these images are brilliant.
All I see is jewellery.
I can see the thought and artistic intent that has gone into these images. For me it is a great contrast to who is guessed to be selling these type of wears.
I am currently limited by the material and tools i have access to. As i tend to want to work/play with steel I have had to get creative. How can you suggest and imply the presence of steel when you are not able to manipulate it in ways you wish to? Rust?
Above is the introduction to textiles into my work. As steel leaves a lasting impression on natural fibers to suggest the presence of mild steel.
