Details

Armando Ramirez masterfully transmits the printer's deep concentration as he transforms auto parts and scrap metal into an expressive sculpture. The man's body is a recycled spark plug, his limbs are shaped from thick wires and his head is made from a round point discarded from a die machine. Ramirez uses a bicycle chain, a bearing, thick wires, nails and other discarded pieces to sculpt the legendary printing machine.

Ramírez prefers not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.
