Most people walk past old forks, scraps, and screws without a second thought, but Brian Mock sees things differently. He’s an artist who finds discarded objects and turns them into art.
He’s been drawing, woodcarving, and painting since he was young. Then, in the 90s, Mock began upcycling various metal objects for his art, and he now uses metal scraps as his main medium.
He turns them into some pretty cool sculptures – and I for one would love to own or see IRL.
