Morphed Instruments

I enjoy incorporating broken or discarded musical instruments into my art. Their initial purpose was to entertain with beautiful sound, and I attempt to harness the residual creative energy and make something visually exciting. I have found multiple sources willing to donate instruments, as many hate to see them melted down or put in a landfill.  Special thanks to Marrell Music, Music Royale, Buckeye Brass, The Violin Loft, and Don Nathan for their help and donations.
