Artist Turns Out-Of-Use Silverware Into Beautiful Sculpture Creations

There’s an aviary in every silverware drawer. Robins, kingfishers, owls, jays, blackbirds… It just takes eyes like those of South Carolina-based craftsman Matt Wilson to help distill them from imagination. When most people visit junkyard to see the garage, artist Matt Wilson (based out of South Carolina) transforms these scrap into several artistic pieces. He sees scrap metal as a unique thing.

For the uninitiated, upcycling, also known as the process of creative reuse, is the process transforming waste materials, useless or unwanted products into new materials, art, or sculptures. Artist, Matt Wilson takes driftwood, silverware, scrap metal and other random materials to create life-like sculptures; art that transcends the "junk" that he uses. Matt's work is a direct reflection of his environment as well as his environmental centric attitude. With the materials he finds, he aims to give the materials that he is working with a new life.
