Guerrero works on a horse made from scrap metal at his studio in west Denver. "It has to have some sort of direction, fluidity," he says of his sculpting.
When Sean Guerrero drives by a long-abandoned, rusting car in the desert, he doesn't see junk, he sees art.
Guerrero, 51, goes on "chrome hunting" expeditions in junkyards throughout the West, as well as occasionally running across old automobiles that have died along roadsides and driveways.
After rounding up assorted materials, Guerrero cuts rescued pieces of chrome and metal with a torch before painstakingly welding and pounding them into larger- than-life pieces of art.
"I always see something sitting around that strikes my fancy," Guerrero said during an interview at his Denver shop. "It's recyclable art."
