The above piece is a sculpture created entirely of manipulated car fenders made by artists and sculptor John Chamberlain.
John Chamberlain was an American sculptor that has made a name for himself through years of getting physical and playing with automobile parts. He beats, bends and hammers everything from bumper bars to bonnets. Chamberlain has an unusual gift for taking such a harsh material such as metal and sculpting it into something unconventionally beautiful - almost making it look as thin as paper.
You may be reading this and thinking what does this have to do with aloil at all? and the answer is nothing - but, in my eyes alfoil has very much the same materiality as the metal Chamberlain uses to create his sculptures. I think I could perhaps I could draw inspiration from Chamberlain's metal work and create a similar installation using alfoil.
