Drill Bit Cityscape by Chu Enoki
Posted by Paul Woodhouse at January 15th, 2008
This is fabulous. Just take a close look and you’ll notice an entire Bladerunner cityscape made out of drill bits and other associated things you may have lying about the old workshop. Well, not our workshop – all the drill bits and hole saws I’ve ever seen aren’t quite as shiny. Chu Enoki, the sculptor responsible for the work, entitled RPM 1200, probably deserves commending as much for his ability to clean the things in the first place as much as for putting it together.
I remember fondly when both Matt and John worked at Sovereign Sheet Metal in Nelson and they’d ask me down to drill the bolt holes and dial holes for conveyor belt casings, that I’d discard nearly as many drill bits as this in an afternoon. I don’t ever remember them being quite as pristine before, during or after, though. Apparently, I was quite good at the monotonous stuff – yeah, I know, just like my blogging.

Beautiful, I love it.
Absolutely gorgeous – so intricate, so alien but real, true and mysterious.
