Beasts
These creatures had their genesis in the piles of scrap metal that occupy much of my work space: car parts, plumbing parts, typewriter parts, clock parts, muffin tins, old nails, broken tools, etc. I assemble them using a variety of methods, including welding, soldering, rivets, nuts and bolts, and epoxy glue.
