The story
This piece was a commission inspired by its predecessor “Dirt Devil“.
I think this one actually turned out better.
Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.
Parts list
Materials
Everything in this piece had a previous life. Nemo’s own inventory, in his words.
Clock, baseball bat, light fixtures, motorcycle parts, coffee makers, sauce pan handles, pipe stem, indicator lights, crank wheel, power drill, magnifying lens, LED lights, stock aluminum.
