Coppernail Sculptures are actually sculptures first carved out of wood and then covered and nailed in all over with copper nails.
I first saw these materials in a hardware. I was attracted to its beauty and texture but felt sad in that its only use was as nails for boats since they do not rust.
I decided to experiment with these materials and came up with these artworks.
