Street Art in Sebastopol...

We fell in love with Patrick Amiot's Sculpture Art on Florence Avenue. Made of 'junk', it was incredible and demands a future visit.



According to Patrick, "The whole purpose of my work is to glorify these objects, because they have their own spirit. When a hubcap has traveled on a truck for millions of miles, and has seen the prairies in the winter and the hot summer asphalt, when it's done traveling with that truck and finds itself in the scrap yard and I find it, I kind of like to use that. This hubcap, or whatever piece of metal, from the day it was manufactured until now, has an important history. And I like to think the spirit of all these things lived incredible lives. If they could talk to you, they could tell amazing stories. That's something I don't want to hide."
And his car is a work of art, in of itself. Love this guy!
