Iron sculpture, 'Rustic Digger'
This rugged digger is sculpted by Mexico's Armando Ram�rez from an intriguing collection of scrap metal pieces and auto parts. The cabin, for example, is built with thick wire, metal sheets, screws and a pulley. It also features a rocker arm from a car's ignition system, and pieces that were left over from a die machine. The front and rear shovels are forged from metal sheets, die pieces and screws. The wheels once were cogs from a car's electric system. Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.
