Raw materials and industrial waste

The Deconstruction Log

Discover the source materials and raw scrap that form the foundation of our creative process.

Source Materials Database

Before objects become art, they exist as raw material. This catalog documents the items we collect and analyze for transformation potential.

Each category represents a different aesthetic possibility, waiting to be reimagined through our creative process.

Material Categories

Industrial waste materials

Industrial Waste

Metal components, machine parts, and manufacturing remnants offer structural integrity and industrial character. These materials provide a strong foundation for sculptural works.

Old electronic components

Old Electronics

Discarded electronic devices contain interesting textures, colors, and geometric shapes. Circuit boards, wires, and casings present unique design opportunities.

Found metal objects

Found Metal

Rusted, weathered, or polished metal pieces carry history and patina. These materials bring texture and visual interest to compositions.

Selection Criteria

Structural Assessment

Each item undergoes evaluation for durability, stability, and potential for modification. Objects must be capable of withstanding the transformation process.

Aesthetic Evaluation

Visual qualities such as texture, color, shape, and patina are considered. Materials with interesting characteristics are prioritized for creative projects.
