Armando Ramírez expertly transforms a collection of auto parts and scrap metal pieces into the vivid sculpture of an iguana. Ramírez recycles a rocker arm from a car's ignition system into the iguana's head, and pulleys become the eyes. The rest of the iguana is finished with discarded pieces from a die machine and metal sheets. Several more auto parts are transformed into the body and tail, including a cog, bendix shell, connecting rod and rocker arm, as well as smooth iron sheets. For the iguana's leg, Ramírez uses screws, thick wire and die pieces, and a spark plug for the back. Please note it is the artist's intention not to give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present.
