We don’t often stop to think about the pipes hidden all around us - carrying water beneath our feet, keeping our cities running smoothly. Rustic Continuum takes these unseen essentials and brings them above ground, making art out of the everyday. Made from upcycled carbon steel, it’s a tribute to the hard - working materials and systems that shape our world, even when we don’t notice. After seeing this, you might start spotting pipes in places you’d never thought to look - quietly blending into parks, streets and cityscapes, reminding us of the essential connection between art and the structures we rely on every day.
Rustic Continuum also invites viewers to reflect on the often - overlooked elements of urban life, encouraging a dialogue about how these structures are integral to our daily routines. Many of us don’t realize that when we turn on a tap, we're engaging with a complex network of infrastructure. This sculpture serves as a bridge between art and our everyday experiences, highlighting how something as ordinary as a pipe can become a focus point for conversation.
