Mechanical Sculpture

I slowly find my work taking a steady path towards kinetic sculpture. These things have always fascinated me and it seems peculiar that I haven't pursued this sooner.


Rolling Ball Sculpture


I find these things fascinating and plan on going to two laces where mechanisms etc are used to stunning effect: The MAD Museum and Snibston Discovery park.

Snow day!



So during the rather amazing snow day I got creative (and tried to bring my brother in on it too).
I set out to build something different, and decided upon a Snow Throne.










I placed a towel upon the seat part to provide protection for the (now smooth) seat.
















 This is the 'Throne' as I finished on the first night.



The next day I began on rising the arms and the back of my Throne.
 The proof of approval.

It still needs finishing off (the back needs building higher) but it is comfortable, proving you like the cold...
