Antique Hardware

Functionality, form, design. Hardware.

Find it in an antique store, on the side of the road, or in the scrapyard.

Use it to create your own machinery (you = technologically savvy) or transform it into your own sculptural object.

Don't forget: it came from somewhere. A doorknob transformed still retains the fact that once, it was a doorknob. A lock transformed still retains the fact that once, it was a lock. Opening, closing. Access, restriction.

An object's history never fully disappears. Use that to your advantage.
