About this work

What you’re looking at is not just a floppy disk. It’s a 1:1 scale tribute to the humble 3.5" data vessel that once carried our hopes, dreams, and Duke Nukem save files.

Each sculpture is handmade using the actual materials found in real floppy disks—plastic, aluminium, and good old-fashioned emotional instability. No 3D printing shortcuts here — just the slow, analog process of sculpting and assembling something that absolutely shouldn’t exist at this size, but does, because I wouldn’t let it die.

The label is created from Somerset printmaking paper, a luxurious surface typically reserved for fine etchings and Victorian secrets. It’s been layered with mixed media —acrylic, archival inks, and a healthy dose of artistic sabotage — then lightly vandalised to simulate years of drawer abuse and forgotten school reports.

Each disk is also painstakingly aged using prop techniques borrowed from the movie industry (and a few secrets I swore to take to the recycling bin). Think faux-oxidisation, precise scuff-mapping, and a time-honoured method I call “accidentally dropping it, then pretending it was intentional.”

Display Options:
These wall sculptures are fitted to hang proudly, but the rear side is no slouch either—fully detailed to replicate the industrial backplate of a real floppy. This means it can also be mounted as a freestanding sculpture, should you wish to treat it like an ancient monolith from the Data Age. (Respect.)

Edition Details:
Edition of 5 per design, but no two are identical. Every disk is hand-painted, aged, slowly, with headphones on listening to chiptunes and questioning life choices...

This piece isn’t just an object. It’s a conversation in plastic. A joke with a straight face. A reminder that once upon a time, 1.44MB felt infinite.
