Hi Jaybird-
Very cool. Looks like something I would like to look at from all angles! What steps did you use to get the mirror finish?

Twisted

I like it, currently doing some research on sculpting and stumbled upon your creation. Thank you as you have given me the inspiration to continue and try to make a piece.

Fab! Nice photo too. Shows

Fab!
Nice photo too. Shows how it screws up the light that fals on it and spits it out every which way!

The whole concept of turning found things into art is something I approve of in every way. ..but the thought of all that polishing makes me shudder,

Paper mill trash turned into artifact

This piece is a lot like Chamberlain's found object art. First, find an interesting object in the raw, then invest some (or a lot of) energy into it and turn it into a monument to technology's waste. That is the basis of the art of recycled materials.

This was a great find in that it has an amazing variety of novelty in its chaotically twisted form. The highly polished finish invests it with both energy and the value of that invested energy. It becomes valuable partly because of that, but there's more;

It is now an original piece of found and manipulated art. You should consider doing a series. Polishing is not necessary. Simple cleaning and a superb paint or plating job would probably fill the bill. I can easily imagine a series in all the colors of paint and plating possible. Good work. You certainly scored with this one!
