ReCircles: Recycled Garden Art

This has been one of the most enjoyable design projects I've ever worked on. I began making these small wind sculptures in 2006 after only thinking about them for way too long. They are made of light sheet metals, including cookie tins, metal trays, bake ware, license plates, advertising signs, and a variety of other printed and painted metal pieces. They are all held together with stainless steel fishing spinners, attached at opposing axis. This gives them a gyroscopic look. The occasional use of "fins" on the outer ring helps them move in the wind. They are called ReCircles. For more information on them, contact 16 Hands at info@16handsgallery.com
