Utinsect

In many homes it is common to have a drawer, typically in the kitchen, where random, seldom used, utensils are jumbled together.

If these conditions are left unattended for too long, “Utinsects” can form, breed, and eventually overrun a household.

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.
