About the Artisan

Inspired by his belief that any artistic endeavor should be environmentally friendly and sustainable, he uses a variety of recycled, salvaged, antique and found materials in his work. Each material is a unique artifact, chosen not only for its beautiful colors and textures, but also for its historical or technological significance. Devin brings these mechanical and industrial characteristics to the surface, releasing the energy of each artifact's past as he transforms it into a finished piece.
Product Description: Sunburst Metal Cuffs
Repurposed from found and salvaged metals, each cuff is one-of-a-kind. Minnesota artist Devin Johnson creates the base of each cuff from strips of vintage serving platters made of copper, brass and silver-plate. The heads of obsolete fire sprinklers pulled from buildings around Minnesota are held on with a found world coin and a handmade copper rivet, creating a distinctive decorative statement. Devin searches farms, estates, auctions, basements, scrap yards and numerous other sites to find an interesting variety of shapes, sizes and colors create a unique collection of cuffs.
