From recycled and found objects—those things lurking in garage boxes and collecting dust on thrift store shelves—comes the artwork of Remnants by RJ. My love of abandoned relics often results in their dismantlement, but those pieces have a way of reassembling themselves in rather unexpected ways. The result: Quirky Robots and Steampunk Art.

Rescued items in varying states of deconstruction litter my workshop surfaces. A central piece will often inspire a mental picture that, in turn, must find its way to reality through trial and error assimilations.

Each finished piece of art or jewelry gives validity to my slightly bizarre obsession with all things metal.
