44. Gabriel Dishaw

Gabriel Dishaw, does some sick sculptures out of junk. He's definetly up my alley with the nike shoes piecies he creates. He uses found objects, computes, typewriters and machine parts that he would end up in a landfills. The styles of the nike shoes are some of the older styles, and one can tell by the thickness of the soles of the shoes, aswell as the simple designs.

Each shoes has different parts, bolts, wire and screws. What makes his pieces unique is the fact he finds the junk parts that have color, intead of it being all silver. Even the shoe strings, which at first I thought was actually strings, untill I got close enough to see that they were wire. For one of the shoe strings I noticed it was headphone cord. Another cool aspect to his works, is he uses suitcases instead of shoe boxes.



   

 

 

Dishaw also works on other junk sculptures besides, shoes that are neat and one would think they would start to move. The bird sculpture is my favorite. The mohawk, and the hink of color in the beak, really as character to the sculptor.
