here is a few teasers for a sculpture I just delivered yesterday. details of buyer and location are confidential. I will post more pics in the coming weeks

You've got my attention I'm really looking forward to seeing it. Those hands almost creep me out they represent living hands so well. You put such a strong sense of life in your work it's just . . . Oh I don't know what. I love it all.

Amazing as always!

 

 Andrew.   Sew, now you have me sitting on pins and needles waiting to see how you stich all these parts together, to make another masterpiece. You truly touch the fabric of my soul.  Well done sir              Dave

Now, now. That is just flannel...

But I agree, seams a nice job.

Hi Andrew,

Was wondering what you've been up to. Those hands are amazing. Harrow points perhaps? I like how you made the sewing machine. That looks like a bottle jack in the middle. I always find lots to look at in your creations. 

I haven't done much junk art for a while - too busy with ordinary forged stuff for the tourists.

Thanks everyone for the compliments . Dave and Alan These jokes must stop its just not punny anymore !

Sorry Andrew, You are right. I meant no disrespect. Your work is way beyond my comprehension. I am a true admirer of yours. I will leave your thread alone. Thank you for posting.           Dave 

 I will leave your thread alone.

Said the kitten to the seamstress .

Looks like you got this one stitched up well Andrew! Brilliant as always!

Alan, Dave: You guys warped the fabric of the whole subject and weft it for someone else to patch, darn you!

It's getting better with every picture Andrew, I hope their punishment hasn't left you bobbin.

Without embroidering the thread too much, I think that the visual puns and the humour are central to Andrews work.

The educational value is brilliant. A great dialogue. For anybody who mucks around with machinery they can find an "in" into art and sculpture by recognising the components. And for non practical / non mechanically minded people it gives an insight in to the beauties inherent in the built and manufactured environment…great precedents from Arcimboldo through Julio Gonzalez, Picasso and David Smith.

I find Andrew's mastery of the medium, and his ability to capture the spirit and character of the subject is a joy to behold.

Ha! I bet my pretentious waffle had you all in stitches!

I would give up my hammer arm and learn to be left-handed for just ONE DAY sitting in your shop and watching you work.

Thank you Spanky . I would love to learn how to use a forge but I just cant find the time.

I still have to show you guys the 3 year old girl on the floor!

Andrew it takes a special person to visualize and then put all the pieces together to create such masterpieces . You are are a true master at what you do. Thanks for sharing. 

lovely but you may wish to redo the first photo statement of being made in 20115 is  a bit odd

Steve  

Thank you everyone for those words of encouragement. Live every day like its your last!

Absolutely beautiful. The little girl adds so much to the work. Where is this one heading Andrew?

Showed this to friend who does nothing with metal.   Her reaction " Oh!!  WOW!  That is Wonderful!"

Thank you Ausfire and Charlotte . The location and details are confidential it gone to a private collector.

 

 I have to say that is darn nice Andrew.......            Dave

The Louvre commissioned it? Your work is a perfect example that there's no such thing as Junk, just unimaginative people.

Your portfolio would sell like hotcakes as a coffee table book.

Frosty The Lucky.

I hope that it will 'still be seen' by many as it is truly inspirational! Thanks for posting it.

How do you start these? do you start with a goal or with a piece that gives you an idea? i see things that give me ideas but never have the other pieces to do what i envision..

absolutely amazing work by the way!
