{"product_id":"re-purposeful-kinetic-sculpture-show-shine","title":"Re-Purposeful Kinetic Sculpture - Shoe Shine","description":"\u003cp\u003eTo most people, it’s a rusted saw, a silver spoon, or a discarded doorknob. To Massachusetts artist Judy Hurlburt, it’s the beginning of a sculpture. She wires, screws, and strings these found objects into Re-Purposeful Kinetic Sculptures — one-of-a-kind works of art that catch the wind, come alive with movement, and create gentle, unexpected sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to live outdoors, each sculpture is made with longevity in mind. Judy seals wood, beads, and other weather-sensitive materials to help them withstand the elements, while leaving the metal components untreated. Rather than fighting rust and patina, she embraces them as part of the sculpture’s ongoing evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJudy built this one straight out of memory: her dad, every Sunday night, buffing his work shoes to a mirror shine while the whole house filled with that unmistakable polish smell. Three vintage cobbler's lasts stack in a row, strung together on cord and spaced out with turned wooden beads, still stamped with their old size and width codes. Hanging between them, a cluster of tin shoe polish lids do the actual chiming — Griffin A.B.C. Wax, Kiwi Boot Polish in brown and tan, Esquire Boot Polish — each one worn enough to prove it did its job once. A small dark bell closes it out at the bottom, the last note in a ritual about getting ready for the week ahead.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Judy Hurlburt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54429669720277,"sku":"JH-KINETIC","price":364.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/7174\/6517\/files\/Hurlburt_0011_20260810_125409_jpg.jpg?v=1786388226","url":"https:\/\/www.repurfect.com\/products\/re-purposeful-kinetic-sculpture-show-shine","provider":"Repurfect","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
