Steamed

UP FOR GRABS

Built on scrap sheet metal, Steamed turns industry into a tiny weather system. A vintage textbook cover on maintaining steam engines becomes the heart of the piece, framed by salvaged mechanics: computer components, a CD-player fragment, metal clips, and a drain plug repurposed as a dangling weight. An antique pants hanger becomes the handle, shifting the work from wall piece to carried relic, while a small medicine bottle sits below like an offering. Then the softest element steals the scene: airy puffs of angora rabbit fur, brushed from a foster bunny, rising like steam and making the invisible visible. It's part machine, part memory, part miniature atmosphere, proof that even metal can breathe.
