The story
Found, cleaned, sorted, welded, wired.

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.

Materials

Everything in this piece had a previous life. Nemo’s own inventory, in his words.

Bridgeport mill head, machined steel and aluminum, Atlas drill press stand, paint.
