The Dutch artist Nemo Jantzen places hundreds of stainless steel nails on a wooden board as his canvas, and using his photography as a road map, Nemo zigzags thread from nail to nail, layer over layer until his pieces take shape with a remarkable level of creativity and craftsmanship. These photo-realistic, three-dimensional pieces change by the light cast and perspective of the beholder.
