Norman, Oklahoma artist Brett McDanel constructs innovative industrial sculptures from found objects. For the last twelve years McDanel has spent his free time scouring streets, vintage stores and the scrap yards for parts that, to most people, are insignificant. The artist states, “When walking down the street you find a random piece of metal that doesn’t belong there. All by itself, it’s just a piece of metal, but when you place it with other objects, it becomes something bigger... a part of something. All together these creations have a place.”
