While most of us despise junkyards as blots on the landscape, it’s not so with the eco-artists. They keep making forays into these vast treasures and, more often than not, come up with something worth convertible into engaging pieces of art. Well, confining his incursions to his garage for fetching the right material for his robotic sculptures, American artist Lockwasher leads them all.


His recycled robotic sculptures: a dragonfly, flashlight eye, doris, rocking racquet rover, robo pup, mobile phone man, lance robot, mix master robot and stilko robot, are the outcomes of his tryst with stuff like recyclable kegs, aluminum scrap, bicycle reflector arms, cantilever bike brakes, microscopic lens, steel thermos, wooden tennis racquet, flashlight housing, wooden shoes, electric fan motor head, finials and discarded cameras. As you go through his collection of recycled robots, you'll realize that the expressions, like stunning, amazing and awesome, are nothing but understatements for his unparalleled trash artworks.
