sculptural qualities

It was said of Andy Warhol that he had "an appreciation of the inherent sculptural qualities of objects), and indeed his "Brillo Box" assemblage shows what a master can do with a group of industrial products.
While handling a lot of tools at the Shed as I help sort them out and use them, I have become aware of many the objects as beautiful examples of industrial design with powerful inherent sculptural qualities in their own right - in particular some of the chisels, files, and now taps (as in taps & dies), and years of use add a history to their edges and surfaces.
I am presently working on a new series of industrial jewelry using these and other objects.
Below are a couple of close-up photos of an old rusting tap (used for cutting a thread into a piece of metal to take a bolt.....imagine the first image below as if it were two or three metres high - to me something worthy of comparison with Jacob Epstein's "Rock Drill".
