So Simple, So Nice
I had extremely high hopes that I could buy and manufacture all the pieces needed for my project. It would be made of stainless steel parts that would reflect the sun-rays ever so nicely. The plan was to have the frame made out of tubing to allow for sheet metal to be formed over the exterior. Even thinking about it now makes me so happy. The design below is a concept of how I wanted to bend the tubing with simple corners and edges. Then I took a look at my wallet. Completely empty, my wallet showed no signs that it wanted to back this expensive endeavor.
It's alive!
I will have to gather recycle material and incorporate that into my design. This is daunting! Using recycled material in an artwork requires a mastery that I do not have. Artists have an eye for the correct placement of those materials and I am hoping that maybe I can pull that off. The frame now will use an oil drum for the body which has a similar shape to that a buffalo and the supports will be tubing that I have found. This is only the beginning of the transformation of the beast. More is yet to come.
