The Rock Drill
American-born British sculptor Sir Jacob Epstein is known for portraits, but also created other types of sculpture. One of his more radical works was The Rock Drill (1913), in which he mounted a Cubist-influenced bronze torso on top of an actual drill. The torso from this work is now in the Tate Gallery in London.
