Yerevan Spider Sculpture

Yerevan Spider Sculpture
Yerevan, Armenia (AM)
The surrounding buildings contribute to the charm of this work of art. The spider is made of recycled gears, pipes, springs, bolts, and other mechanical items. Ara Alekyan is the artist behind this installation, and he's a master at welding scrap metal together to create something new and exciting.

Following the 1988 earthquake that devastated Armenia, Alekyan observed the collapsed buildings and noticed that the rusted and contorted metal frames created broken and sinuous patterns. He was inspired, and started experimenting with discarded metal in his artistic endeavors.
