Bots

Recently I have been applying for university, I have been looking at courses dug has sculpture and 3D design, yes I have done some design pieces I wanted to try making something than just function furniture. I wanted to make something sculptural and ascetic ally pleasing but still keeping in my field of up cycling. I came across these Gizmobots at Bury museum and absolutely loved them, I loved the recycled aspect, they playful characters and the different personalities each one held, I was inspired and wanted to mirror all the qualities that caught my eye and made me smile. 

I have good connections with the college estates (like the college janaters, who preserve and look after all the college buildings and envronment), Ian who works for them is a good friend and heps me out time to time when college is developing and closing down a building to build a new one he will allow access to come and go whatever has been left, this is like the other side of me (bring a woman) like bring let loose in tiffanys or... Something as good as that! It's so inspiring to get the strangest of objects that you find and sontimes just the ordinary. ANYWAY, they were closing down the machanics bulidings so I contacted him and started collecting stuff, now that was a visit! The stuff in there was amazing and super inspiring. 

Theses are the bots I made from old car parts, some parts from a spot welder and some prsure gages. I tried to make a character and personality for each of them and match the materials to create a whole object instead of something that looks like an onsomble of things.
