Andrew Branscombe, Dross-Work #1
Andy says about this work:
Dross-Work #1 is part of a new series of works that make use of the discarded and easily
overlooked materials and objects. The work is both original and a by-product of
the processes I have to go through as an artist and handyman. The selection of
material for the piece conforms to a set of rules. 1. The objects must be of the
materials that the other work is made from. 2. Tools destroyed during the
process of fabrication are also to be included. 3. Tools created during the
process are to be included. 4. The objects should be finished to an equal
standard as the work from which they are created. 5. Dust particles or shavings
created during the process should not be included as external materials can
contaminate these. This work is an experimental piece and one that I am hoping
will lead onto a larger series of works in the future, alongside a refinement
of the rules and processes.
