“I Collect Old Doors And Stuff. Old Painted Wood That I Find In The Street.”

Computer made from found wood by Ron van der Ende.

Juxtapoz has a photo series about the work of Dutch artist Ron van der Ende, who uses found wood to carve hyperrealistic sculptures of artifacts of the Industrial and Information Ages.  In an interview with diskursdisco, the artist explains how he creates his work:

Ron van der Ende: I collect old doors and stuff. Old painted wood that I find in the street. I take it apart and skin it to obtain a 3mm thick veneer with the old paint layers still intact. I construct bas-reliefs that I cover with these veneers much like a constructed mosaic. I do not paint them!”
