Hubcap Animal Sculptures by Brighton, U.K.-based Ptolemy Elrington
[ Previously: Hubcap Creatures ]
For over twelve years now, Ptolemy Elrington
has been morphing discarded hubcaps into amazing animal sculptures.
Within his work he concentrates on creating sculpture of natural forms
from found and re-cycled materials. At the moment he is working with a
variety of materials including shopping trolleys, scrap metal and car
wheel trims which he re-shapes into a variety of life forms. Read an interview with Elrington at Empty Kingdom.
"Hubcap car are made entirely from re-cycled materials. All the hubcaps are found, usually on the side of the road, and therefore bear the scars of their previous lives in the form of scratches and abrasions. I believe these marks add texture and history to the creatures they decorate."
