Bolts and Rivets

Lately, I have begun experimenting with bolts and rivets in my pieces to making each piece look like it is made from several steel sheets. Some of my work has actual bolts connecting various parts together, but I am starting to incorporate clay bolts and rivets onto the slab surfaces. Two artists I have been looking at extensively while doing this is Andrew Massey and Randolph Silver. I think both artists incorporate these elements into their work very successfully. (The first two images are of Andrew Massey's work and last two are of Randolph Silver's work)
