Sub Fish by Tim Nelsen

Artist Statement for Sub Fish

Fish Sub is fabricated entirely from recycled materials. The body is made from two automotive clutch pressure plates, the face and mouth are an old hand forged fender and the tail fin section is a recycled automotive fan that spins in the wind.

The fish fins are created from commercial shelving units and feature recycled copper and brass sheet insets. Copper and metallic brass patina stains are also used throughout the piece.
