12-Inch Nails Turned Into Stunning Sculptures
28K views
John Bisbee has
spent nearly 30 years welding and forging 12-inch nails into amazing
works of sculptural work. This might sound like a misplaced act of
dedication until you see just how beautiful and impressive his
sculptures are.
Bisbee writes that he is guided by the
mantra “only nails, always different.” This comes across loud and clear
in his work, since he has put this seemingly simple and limiting
component to hundreds of different creative uses, many of which expand
to consume an entire wall or room.
The story goes that his fascination with
nails began when he was scavenging for metal parts to use in his
sculptures. He upturned a bucket of rusted nails, noticing that they
retained the shape of the bucket they were in. This fascinated him, and
he spent the next 3 decades exploring his newly discovered medium!
