Scrap metal sculptures


Recommended Posts

On a recent trip to Zubick's scrap metal, I decided to take along the Sony a7R/ Nikkor 50mm/f1.8 Ai and #12 Y + XNite CC2 stack. I added a PL, but the effect wasn't that dramatic.

The sculptures were created by students at a local college, and are on permanent display at Zubick's.

These remind me when I ripped out a kitchen in Winnipeg many many years ago. I remember dumping off stuff at the dump and all the cool things you could find and see.

 

Someone joked to me I would be coming back with more stuff then I dropped off.

 

I am fixated on your third image with a great looking blender jar and a bbq I could probably fix.

The rather garish colours and the scrap-metal artwork contrast each other nicely. My favourite would be the last image in the sequence.

Thanks all !

There's always interesting things to photograph out there, if you don't mind dodging pickup trucks.

What an interesting contrast between the hard metals and the soft pink foliage. Nicely seen.

 

I like that elephant. And the parrot is quite well done. Those students have talent. Although I wonder if any of these would ever be sold in an art gallery. Well, who knows? :lol:

Hi Andrea,

Any of these sculptures could easily be in a gallery, but the truth is that Zubick's offered free welding classes and unlimited access to scrap materials, so the students get hands-on experience, and Zubick's gets a great permanent display.

 

The other side of the lot, has the creepy sculptures. The hornet isn't showing in these shots, but the mantis has always been my favorite.
