Railroad Bill

Two Young Robots Sing Railroad Bill

For my Brown music class. Simple and sweet. Listen and be merry.

Jessica's Ride to School

A while back our class had an assignment to, in one night, make a small work for everyone else in the class. One of classmates made a little creature for me that I loved. I asked her if I could recreate it and she was all for it. This is the result. I tried to stay as true to the original as possible. The body is a mossy railroad tier. The legs and neck are steel. The ball is a chicken wire sphere covered in white insulation foam. I then flocked it with seeds. The ball bobbled very pleasantly in the wind, disbursing seeds with every gust.

Form

Not to sure what to call/ or label this as. It was mostly an exercise in mimicking my drawing style. Lately when I sketch I add and subtract forms, sculpting really, until the drawing is "done". I wanted to translate this action into the 3d realm. A few things that it reminds of are camels, reverted transportation, war machines, and resident evil.

Materials: Steel, foam, palette wrap, burlap, wood glue, dirt, paint, and plasti-dip.

Grandpa's First Humping Machine

So this is my kinetics final. Kinetics are great but an absolute pain. Not only am I concerned with generating visual interest with my kinetic work...but also with simply making the thing work. With that said I might have to label this sculpture as one of my must frustrating pieces made to date.

When the pillow is pushed inward it turns off the light switch. Simultaneously a series of hinged arms bend the duck's head downward. When the head bows, it pulls fishing line connected to the ends of the wings. This causes the wings to flap. The whole piece is tensioned with springs which returns everything to its original position.

Materials are found wooden duck, box, palettes, burlap, charcoal powder, paint, lamp arm, plastic, light, springs, steel and a pillow
