Pen-nibs in the workshop, being used to make earring trios.

A braze welded sculpture of recycled bicycle parts. The legs and hips are rear derailleur plates, and the tail, head, and jaw of the mount is a brake lever and housing. The teeth are chain pins on a link plate.
The rider's torso is made of two rear derailleur mounting pegs, and a brake caliper forms its shoulders and arms. In its right manipulator is a spring clip from the underside of a saddle, and in its left is a staff of a handlebar stem bolt and expander nut, rear derailleur spring, and a wheel bearing race nut.
On its shoulders is an epaulette of a brake cable guide sleeve and a head of a tube clamp and alignment washer. It wears a jaunty hat of a headset locknut.

This necklace just was awarded First Place at the Visual Arts Exchange "Unfettered" show. It is made from a deconstructed vintage straight razo
SOLD
This is the third in a series where I have taken the little octopus seen everywhere on Etsy and changed it in some major way. For this one I used my jeweler's saw to deconstruct the little guy and put a clockworks in him. I wanted it to look as though the clockworks were bursting out in a transformative way. He is about 3 1/2" wide by 2 1/2" deep and is on a 18" vintage copper finish chain with a hammered finish. A lobster safety clasp completes the necklace. I am a trained silversmith and this piece is riveted together for a lifetime of wear. One of a kind.

Because a lot of my sculptural work comes under the umbrella of assemblage I tend to collect large quantities of found objects and materials - always being drawn the things and forms that have a certain resonance, but not always knowing what I will eventually use them in.
In this drawing I have taken a few of these items and, without trying to concern myself too much over matters of how the individual forms relate to each other, I've attempted to morph them all together. This proved to be more easily said than done, as a life time of drawing, awareness of perspective and of trying to accurately create the illusion of 3D forms in a 2D plain can hard wire the brain to following certain rules. None the less I'm quite happy with how it turned out - there are some interesting connections going on. A friend recently said that there was a lot of sexual imagery in the piece. I'm not sure if that says something about him or me.
Anyway - this work has just gone on display in Vamalgam 4, the Victoria and Albert Museum's new staff show. This year's exhibition is the biggest of the four shows, with some of the best work yet. The work ranges from painting, to photography, to drawing, to mixed media and showcases the diverse creative abilities of the people who make up the V and A Museum.
FOUND ITEM at the HUNKY JESUS CONTEST...it was fun finding a few things at the contest grounds, but it was MORE fun seeing other photographers capturing those LOST ITEMS ! ADDA wanted to tap them on the shoulder and say, "If you want views, go for the BARE CHESTS, if you want FOUND OBJECTS go to ADDA's non-view flickr set!" LOL
Tejp Remy. Dutch. Rags and Metal Strips.
The Rag Chair is made of thrown out rags, pieces of clothing and discarded metal strips. Remy creates each chair from found materials and also allows customers to send in their own discarded clothes to be included in the design.
While the Rag Chair is meant to be a comfortable piece of furniture, it also acts a a historical documentation. Because the Chair is made of previously worn clothing, the user can see the growth, change, and style reference over time- allowing the user to reflect on his or her past.
A warning sign found washed up on the beach in Departure Bay, my son's broken skateboard, rusted-iron dolphins fashioned by my partner, a shovel, and several other items. The haphazrd installation is part of a cemetery in my backyard on Vancouver Island. The vegetation is my friend. More about the cemetery can be found in my blog's cemetery catergory.
They say it's a very clear indicator of Desperate Photographer Syndrome when you stop and take a pic of noodles on the street.
But what the heck ... it was a beautiful afternoon and fine fresh air. Plus, one could wonder and speculate as to why a box of noodles happened to be laying there.
Playing around with the odds and ends on my bench--leftovers from other pieces, things started and not finished--these 2 emerged as finished pieces.
Found this while walking the other day. It was in the grass along a semi-major highway (271). First thought it was just a knife case, 'till i opened it up & found the crack pipe. Yep, left it there.

Excavated necklace by So Charmed for 13 Broken Teacups (http://www.etsy.com/shop/13brokenteacups.
Made of kick ass vintage chain, excavated German bisque rhino, labradorite, African ruby trade bead, ancient watch movement, gears, etc.
