The story
This creature was originally developed as a character for a stop motion animation project, and later reimagined as a stand alone sculpture.

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.

Bed post, door knob, wood screws, light bulbs, optometry device, dental x-ray mount, dynamo, volt meter, relay, machined aluminum, brass, and stainless steel.
