Project Aesthetic

›Industrial Recycled 

While doing research on my project, I ran across some interesting artworks that helped inspire my project. The above is a metal rhino constructed out of various gears and scrap metals. At first I didn't think much of the effect or meaning behind what the artist tried to convey. What draws this work apart from bronze sculptures or more realistic animal statues is that the artist doesn't hide the parts that have become the whole of the piece. Each piece has become intrinsic to forming the image of the rhino. 

Similar to the rhino, this horse sculpture doesn't try to cover the parts of the whole. It accomplishes this aesthetic with more varied pieces of metals that bring about a recycled natural look. This appearance will require some extra thought into how I layout the piece but the result might reflect all the eco-awareness that Boulder is all about.
