Rustic Twist
Unique & Beautiful
Animal Art Created from re-cycled metals |

|
In the year 2000, we were asked to make a pregnant cow from old corrugated iron.
Having made a few corrugated chooks prior to this, we started to create a number of different creatures from recycled metals. To meet the demand ‘Rustic Twist’ evolved. |
The iron has been collected from roofs being replaced and is usually between 40 and 100 years old, and the copper is saved from old hot water cylinders.
All animals are individually cut from recycled galvanized, corrugated iron and old copper hot water cylinders and then sculpted by hand.
Once outside the animals age beautifully and require no maintenance at all apart from the occasional pat.
We have created kiwis, sheep, goats, dragons, alpacas, cows, fish, palm leaves, and cacti.
My creations seem to have an eclectic and burgeoning appeal, and can be found in Auckland, Germany, England and even Alaska.
My wish is to inspire.
