If a pirate turned parts of a ship into artworks, they would undoubtedly resemble Ono Kang’s quirky contraptions, crafted mostly from scrap metal, antique furniture, wood and other recycled items.

The Penang-based self-taught artist is thrilled to see his installations travel beyond George Town, marking a memorable return to Kuala Lumpur for his latest exhibition Forged By Time at Fahrenheit88 mall.
