While environmentalists have called on the world to reuse and recycle, artist Brian Mock has taken this concept to a whole new level by creating works of art made of scrap metal. Based in the suburb of Portland, Oregon, Mock taught himself how to weld and began to experiment with metal sculptures in the late 1990s.
His medium of choice? Things that others had thrown away. Mock explained to Wescover, “I love working with reclaimed items because they’re already interesting and historic in their own right.”
