David Moneypenny’s art is driven by salvaged and found raw materials because they have a history, a prior life, or an event that changed their form.

He explores and invents new uses for old materials: flags made from salvaged steel; tree bark and latex caulk; or screening, paint and metal fragments; or exquisite furniture sculpture made from crumpled automobile metal combined with repurposed wood.

Bringing the rawness of nature into the polished world, Moneypenny takes a hard look at our relationship with nature and what we do with discarded materials.
