David Mach – Matchstick sculptures

David Mach – Matchstick sculptures:
Scottish sculptor and installation artist David Mach’s artistic style is based on assemblages of common household objects including newspapers, car tires, matchsticks and coat hangers. Many of his installations are temporary and constructed in public spaces. For example, one of his early sculptures Adding Fuel to the Fire, was assembled from an old truck and several cars surrounded by about 100 tons of magazines. Another sculpture exhibited in London in 1983 consisted of some 6000 car tires arranged as a lifesize replica of a Polaris submarine.
