专家说明

Artist Aleksandr Mushkin crafts sculptures and objets d’art in a steampunk-inflected style, using scrap art techniques. His work incorporates vintage wares and working parts alike. 'The Clock Dragon', a working clock, is constructed from over 1,000 individual elements. The Dragon took around one year to complete, and is made entirely from found objects – none of the materials or mechanisms were cast or built for the piece. The dragon’s head, for example, is made from spoons, forks, sprocket-wheels, optical lenses, brass wire mesh, ruby bearings, car engine parts, and candlesticks.
