Untitled Brutalist Found-Object Assemblage Sculpture

This is a small-scale, vertical assemblage sculpture created from various reclaimed metal industrial components. The base of the piece appears to be a repurposed vintage clothing iron, providing a heavy, stable foundation with a polished chrome-like finish. Atop the iron, the artist has welded a series of mechanical parts, including what looks like a heavy-duty circular clamp or industrial housing framing a wire grid or mesh screen. Rising from the center is a vertical rod terminating in a spherical finial, reminiscent of an automotive shifter or a control lever. The construction utilizes visible spot welds, characteristic of Brutalist or 'junk art' styles from the mid-to-late 20th century. The material composition is primarily steel and chrome-plated metal, displaying a high-shine finish in several areas contrasted by dark, textured weld points and minor oxidation on the inner mechanical surfaces. There is no visible maker's mark or signature. Overall condition shows signs of age-appropriate patina, minor surface scratches, and slight pitting on the chrome surfaces, but the structure remains solid and intact. The piece represents a transition from industrial function to abstract form, focusing on geometric interplay and the verticality of disparate mechanical elements.
