Sculpture: Spare Parts #3 by Paul Martia

It looks like a city skyline built from scraps, and every scrap has been welded in.

Sculpture: Spare Parts #3 is a contemporary piece by Paul Martia, made of steel, brass and copper. Welded assemblage, in which found or cut pieces of metal are joined into one form, has been a familiar sculptural method since the mid 20th century. Small boxes, rolled tubes and flat plates are fused into a tall vertical column, with blobs of weld and brass studs marking the joints. The metal ranges from silver to gold to near black. A slender rod connects it to a square steel base. It is 4.5 inches wide, 4.5 deep and 18 high.

Nothing here is spare.
