Hub Cap Creatures
While we’re on the subject of fish sculpture created from recycled materials …let me introduce Hub Cap Creatures. The artist states: Hubcap creatures 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, and so choose not to fill, overpaint or alter them in any way.
