Animal Sculptures

Project type

Animal Sculptures - click on the images for more info

I love building animal sculptures. It doesn't really matter what the animal is, a goat, rooster, rhinoceros, whatever. I find great satisfaction in transforming countless parts into lifelike sculptures of some of my favorite creatures. Whether I am using a few or a few hundred parts, I try to capture the essence of each animal in my works.

Overall view of a scrap metal sea turtle swimming through green sea grass. The turtle is made up of shiny brass gears from old clocks, and various bike parts, car parts and other bits of chain and machinery.

Top view of scrap metal sea turtle. This view shows the shell, made from steel squares welded together with bronze. A large gear from farm machinery, pressure gauge and lots of little pieces of chain and other gears. The flippers are outlined with bike chain and filled with clock springs, typewriter and bike parts.

This shows the underside of the turtle, and nice leathery brown color as it swims through the green seagrass.
