Inane Systems

Happy New Year to you all!
Lets start 2012 as we mean to go on, with Inane Systems (aka Ryan Dunn). Dunn plays with ideas of contact, alteration and disassembly, through many different mediums.
Top image is Nickel Fabric, a conceptual fabric design created through a process of electrolysis, produced as part of an investigation into mark making using electric currents.
