Rustic Basketball Final Recycled Metal Sculpture _artisan--novica-artisan-3878 Gold plated brassThe ingenious sense of art of Mexico's Armando Ramirez is evident in the admirable way in which he recycles scrap metal. It's the last seconds of the game and the ball is in the basket in this entertaining sculpture. The players' bodies, for example, are car spark plugs, and their limbs are shaped from long screws. Ramirez uses discarded pieces from a die machine to shape the players' heads. The ball is made up of two hoops made from metal sheets.
