Insects hours

The fact that the average person may look like a pile of garbage, for the artist and designer from Chicago Justin Gershenson-Gates (Justin Gershenson-Gates) is a creative inspiration. He dexterity transforms dusty old watch parts and other mechanisms in a unique and intelligent design creation.





The designer says: My goal - to show the beauty of the mechanical world, which is hidden behind metal and glass.






For a long time, Gates worked for a jeweler, and then want to switch to something new.
In his writings, Justin uses countless gears, springs, screws, light bulbs. Apply sophisticated soldering to connect all the sections. The result is original mini-sculptures of insects - dragonflies, spiders, grasshoppers.











Working with mechanisms have always been part of the artist's life. From childhood they were his favorite toys. And when he grew up, he decided to create them. The manufacture of such mechanisms usually takes several hours.
