‘Metal evolutionist’ Brian Mock from Portland Oregon makes elegant recycled metal sculptures from discard nails, wingnuts, sheet metal, car rotors and hinges. He sez:
“I am intrigued by the challenge of creating an entirely unique piece from an eclectic collection of discarded objects. Giving these old, common items a new and extraordinary life as one sculpture is an artistically challenging yet gratifying process. This type of work is also designed to be highly interactive and prompt viewers to question the reality of what they see. Audience reactions fuel my motivation.”

Zachary Abel uses binders, paperclips, playing cards and all kinds of household objects to create these mathematical sculptures.
The Impenetraball (top pic) made from 132 binder clips, is a recent piece that Zachary reckons is strong enough to take his weight (though he hasn’t tested this out yet).

Permian Gate by Russian sculptor Nikolay Polissky was erected in Perm, Russia earlier this year. Constructed from hundreds of spruce logs, it’s about 12m square and shaped like the Russian letter for “P” (as in Perm) which is “П” (Пермь).
It’s nice, but it’s no Achill Henge.
