I had the pleasure this Friday of meeting up with many fine sculptors (all members of AKA) at Benjamin Cowden’s exhibition at Float Gallery in Oakland.

I helped Jeremy Mayer move to his new studio yesterday. This image represents probably half of his typewriter collection.

Today’s finds.
I’m particularly hopeful for the clocks potential as an enclosure for a diorama.

It’s a huge relief to learn that the interior box actually fits inside the big guys torso (barely!).

Added additional belt wheels today. Much more dynamic. I can’t wait to get some lighting in there too!

I just got the mechanism working for the little Homunculus that is to be installed inside my new Minotaur sculpture. I plan to fill the remaining space within the metal box with additional spinning belt wheels.

Here is the early stage of the interior of my new large figure. It will be a continuation of my “Homunculus” theme.
The little robot will turn the crank, and a whole array of belt wheels attached to it. I plan to add plenty of light effects as well.

Things got really ordinary today. I think I have the most trouble when I have to “think inside the box”. Despite my various skills, nothing confounds me like a few right angles.

Jeremy Mayer brought some of his work over to my studio today. We set up my show-room for a collector who is coming through town.

“Under The Sea” all fixed up, better than new. Upgraded LEDs on the little squid, and now the needles on the meters flick back and forth. Something I had intended to do the first time around but never got to it.

My “Under The Sea” sculpture needed some repairs/upgrades. Even I am amazed at the tangle of wires that were hiding inside.

I finally got the arms temporarily attached to my new sculpture. In this video only one of the hands is working. Still much to be done, but I thought I would share this first moment of seeing all the body elements in place.

Since I’m pretty happy with the design of the arm/hand mechanism, it was time to stop to stain and coat the individual wood pieces.

Little finger joints. A rare case where I had to make parts from scratch rather than finding them.

Here is the first mechanical test of the arm for my new sculpture. The wood sections are from tables and chairs. I hope to significantly clean up or replace most of the linkages for the final version, but this should give an idea of the motion.

More photos from last weekend’s Mad Science opening at the Sonoma County Museum.
Alan Rorie (Almost Scientific) did a considerably better job documenting the show than I did. He posted several photos and some video on his site, here.
In case you missed it, my photos are posted here.
