When metal tools rust, they get thrown out, but sculptor John Piccoli collects them and creates works of art with the discarded material. The sculptures that are made are elegant and look natural. From afar you would not be able to tell that the animal sculptures are actually made out of old thrown away rusted wrenches.
The sculptures that Piccoli is able to create are amazing. You would never imagine that you can create realistic bouquets out of wrenches. The marriage of rusted and polished wrenches adds extra detail to the sculptures. Piccoli is able to see a magnificent use for what your average person will see as being a useless piece of junk.
