Meet Brian Mock, a self-taught artist from Oregon who brings reclaimed materials back to life; he transforms forks, screws, and car parts into unique sculptures.
The artist collects things for his artworks from local machine and car stores, and he’s been granted free access to dumpsters, people’s basements, and garages.
“I’ve always loved the simple concept of making something new from something old. It’s a fun, creative challenge, and the bonus is that using scrap materials keeps it out of landfills. I hope my art encourages people to take creative measures to generate less waste,” Mock told us in a previous interview.

When growing up, Mock loved to draw. As he got older, he started painting and carving wood. It wasn’t until the late 1990s that he discovered his true passion when he began sculpting with recycled metal. This made him excited and creative. He learned how to weld independently and got good at it, making his art unique and well-crafted. 02.

“Giving old, everyday objects a new life as one sculpture is an artistically demanding, yet gratifying, process. My work is designed to emphasize resourcefulness and encourage viewer engagement. Audience reactions fuel my creativity and help me bring my visions to life,” Mock writes on his website.
