American artist Gabriel Dishaw takes discarded bits of wire, bolts, screws and circuit board scraps and transforms the recycled metal into stunning sculptures. Using iconic sneakers for inspiration, Dishaw’s Junk Dunk series displays the artist’s incredible attention to detail, including proper sizing (shoe size 9.5) logos, familiar stitching, movable shoe tongues and laces. Each shoe is made entirely of recycled metals with only glue used to hold the sculpture together.
“Using found objects from typewriters, adding machines and old computers, I take the items people no longer have use for and I carefully disassemble these items and then reassemble these together using metal wire creating my Junk Art,” explains the artist of his work. “I begin each sculpture with an idea of how can I take these found pieces of useless metal and insignificant objects and create something that everyone can understand and relate to.”
