The story
Another entry for the Jackalope collection.
Though this one has qualities not unlike a Deer.
Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.
Parts list
Materials
Everything in this piece had a previous life. Nemo’s own inventory, in his words.
Antlers, power sander, bandsaw blade wheels, projector flywheel, vacuum cleaner handles, weather hood, meat grinder, motorcycle clutch, cheese slicers.
