Mechanical Insects

#Art

Available for sale on his online store, artist Justin Gershenson-Gates creates beautiful miniature insects made out of old watch parts and other random pieces.

I am Justin Gershenson-Gates, the thinker and assembler behind A Mechanical Mind. The grandson of a railroad man, the son of a gearhead, my life has been filled with all things mechanical. As a child, I would take my toys apart in order to see how they worked, but was never able to put them back together again. Now, I take dead old watches from the top drawers of the world, and rearrange their bits and widgets into whimsical designs.
