Suspended Gear

Amber Conger made this salvaged steel and antique gear sculpture in 2008.

Amber Conger has always been drawn to metals and sees unlimited possibilities in steel. She gathers her sculpture parts from local salvage yards, auctions, garage sales, and surplus centers. To her, the gears, bearings and mechanical objects are engineering marvels and she likes using these small parts that make the world go round.
