Scissors Found objects Part of the Simple Objects project Courtesy The Clark Family and The Clovers The steel objects that we’ve excavated contain mostly iron, which when burned, produced a surface of red-orange iron oxide. Artists think that altered surfaces are beautiful...while engineers understand the practicality of what rust means – that the strength of the object has been compromised. – Stephanie Taylor
