Troglodyte

I am intrigued with the challenges and rewards of attempting these pieces which I consider to be mini stage design exercises, or “doll houses for boys” if you prefer.

In this case the protagonist appears to be in an underground facility. I like to think of the window to the rear of the room to be a video feed from a planets surface that he toils deep beneath.

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.
