Metal, found objects

Thierry Despont was best-known for his very successful architectural practice—but he was also an accomplished artist. Some of his most interesting works are a series of sculptures fashioned out of found—often industrial or farm—tools or components. Ranging from small, table top creations to large-scale works suitable for the outdoors, these typically take nature as their subject, and are often representations of either insects or fantastical, almost alien creatures.
