Human Sculptures Made Out of Discarded Machinery Parts That Look Like They’ve Been Blown Away
“Blown Away” is a stunning series of sculptures by British artist Penny Hardy. Each sculpture is that of a life-sized human made out of discarded machine parts. These recycled parts were strategically positioned to make it appear that half their bodies have been blown away by a severe wind. While the sculptures are completely static, they appear to have a distinct sense of movement and emotion.
In an interview with My Modern Met, Hardy explained how her choice of materials helped express her intentions.
