Leporid Eye

This piece gets its name from the latin designation for Rabbit which is “Leporidae”.

I simply can’t resist the opportunity to make a pun.

Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.
