Screw Art :: Andrew Myers

The portraits created by Andrew Myers are a fresh take on using hardware to create imagery. He uses screws at various heights to add a three-dimensional aspect to his pieces in addition to adding color to the screw heads which makes for some interesting effects. See more at his site ...  but if you're at work, note that his site does have a soundtrack so check your speaker volume. LINK

Wire Frames :: Thomas Raschke

Artist Thomas Raschke created a series of sculptures of household objects. I'm not sure how I feel about this sort of work, in some ways so literal, in others so abstract. I suppose it is a good thing that it made me think about it. LINK

Wire Sculptures :: Fritz Panzer

Fritz Panzer creates some interesting sculptures of every-day interior objects using wire. The thing I like about his work is a sketchy feel you see in some of his peices that reminds me of drawings. LINK

Wire Sculpture :: Karen Searle

Karen Searle is a fine artist who works in fiber and wire. Though some of her work is rudimentary, I particularly like the grouping of children's dresses shown here. You can see more of her work at her site. LINK

Wire Sculptures :: Helen Godfrey

Helen Godfrey began by making papiere mache pieces, until interest in the wire frames beneath encouraged her to focus on just the bare bones. Though the selection of work on her website is small, some of the pieces have a quaint charm. LINK

Wire Sculptures :: Rupert Till

Robert Till creates sculptures in other mediums as well, but is featured here for his wire sculptures. Like many others, he has done work with chicken wire, but I'm particularly fond of his works that swirl heavier-gauge wire. See more at his website. LINK

Wire Trees :: Mark Golomb

Artist Mark Golumb creates small tree sculptures from wire. Having tried this myself, I learned how tough it is and how much patience it takes to bend all of those wires! Check out the trees he has made on his Fine Art America page. LINK

Inhabitants Of A Certain Planet :: Shojiro Yamauchi

Japanese artist Shojito Yamauchi created a series of metal sculptures of mechanical insects. Not only does their construction indicate their mechanical nature, but they also have open sections that show through to their working parts - gears and pipes. Read more and see more photos (including some close ups) at the Tokyobling site. LINK

Sculpture :: Lewis Tardy

Lewis Tardy creates some amazing sculptures. Though he also creates animal forms, his unique take on the human form and dynamic movement is worth checking out. See more of his work at his site. And always one of my favorites, don't miss the pictures of his studio! LINK
