Hubcap Creatures by Brighton, U.K.-based Ptolemy Elrington
Ptolemy Elrington specializes in sculptures of animals, insects and marine life made from recycled materials, including car trim, hubcaps and shopping carts. Read an interview with Elrington at Empty Kingdom.
"I come across many things which have been abandoned and find something more in them than their intrinsic worthlessness. Hubcaps, for instance. Aesthetic in purpose but ultimately of very little use. They’re automatically rubbish when on the side of the road, but with a little effort and imagination I transform them into something which gives people a great deal more pleasure."
