    2010 | antique metal hardware, silver, dental wire, felt

Pieces of antique metal hardware with a rich history. They come from vastly different backgrounds: Some lived on doors, hidden under layers and layers of paint, some lived in the basement of a scrap dealer, some lived on the streets between the cracks of cobblestones. I feel like they patiently waited as outcasts for a long time, and now they are united with others of their kind in order to show their beauty.
