recycled metal sneakers



american artist gabriel dishaw recreates his favourite sneaker designs using old circuit boards,
copper wire and other bit and pieces.

'using found objects from typewriters, adding machines and old computers, I take the items people
no longer have use for and I carefully disassemble these items and then reassemble these together
using metal wire creating my junk art. I begin each sculpture with an idea of how can I take these
found pieces of useless metal and insignificant objects and create something that everyone can
understand and relate to.' GD
