Chain Saw Sculpture.

Chain layed out around the original saw frame to

create the structure.

Welding the links together.

Final piece with stand attached.

Sculpture placed in public places.

I have brought two chains from home. They have already been rusted and have a nice effect on them.
I have been thinking of making a sculpture with parts of a saw but then i taught why not make a saw out of a object that would usually not take a definite shape or structure. So I have made the structure/shape of a saw with two chains by welding each link together. I used the blade from the saw and that was welded on after the shape was formed. Then the " Chainsaw" was attached onto a base so it could stand upright.

Paper Lock Metamorphis.

Original image taken from home.

Ideas sketched out

Paper lock after burning.

Before and After.

 I have made two paper locks. The first is clean, new and untouched. The second is old ,with hole in it and burn marks. This is representing the transformation from new to old in the same way that rust changes an object. What i like about the object is that locks are made for stoping things but corrosion and rust is able to break through it over time.

This is an object that i have brought into college from home. I have sketched it onto a MDF board. Now I am going to use this for printing.

Rusty Steel Drawing.

                   My sheets of metal layed out on the table.                   Clean sheet of metal.

Image sketched onto steel sheet.              Image cut into steel sheet.

Image rusting into steel.

                           

                                           Metal sheets with rusting images after 3 Days.

Rusted steel after i have engraved around the rusted images.

I have a few offcut steel sheets from a larger steel sheet at home. My plan is to draw on them with a method that cannot be disclosed to the public. I will let them rust over time and hopefully there will be some very nice rusted effects....Saves money on painting materials anyway!
