17. Salvaged Serenity

17. Salvaged Serenity

Artist: 

John Watry

Artist Statement: 

Salvaged Serenity is a work by artist John Watry a metal sculptor working and residing in the historical village of East Troy in southeast Wisconsin.

As you egg-plore the piece you can egg-spect to be whisked away by the many salvaged treasures of recycled and re-used formerly egg-nored tools and metal parts. Some egg-citing elements that were once egg-nored and have been somehow scrambled together to shell-ebrate their once usefulness.

To create this eggs-traordinary eggs-ample, John egg-haustingly scrambled pieces that were once egg-sisting in factories, machine shops and on local farms around the Midwest.

The artist was egg-static to take on the egg-scruciating task of bending, and welding the wrenches, gears, bits, and hooks that egg-sist throughout. You can also find some egg-stra elements not to be egg-nored, egg-specially a John Deere factory metal sample.

I hope this egg-ceptional statement of this eggs-quisite art piece egg-ceeded your egg-petitions.
