Lonely Robot

This guy was originally a prototype for an installation I wanted to do.  He was going to be remotely hooked up to a computer with an artificial intelligence software controlling his voice and his movements.  He would interact with viewers and other elements in the space.  He would be about 4 years old mentally, but stand around 10 or 12 feet tall.  His mother would come to him as a Greek goddess and his father a bead of light.  Maybe someday.

Gift: The Palace

Last year for Valentine's Day I gave my true love a poem made into a palace.  Each room of the palace has a part of the poem written inside and an illuminated scene.  There are 12 tiny scenes and 1 large on in the middle.  It is very hard to get good photos of the rooms because they are so tiny and the lense of my camera is way bigger than the windows.  The palace is made almost entirely out of paper.  It is based loosely on the shape of the Taj Mahal in India.  I even watched the documentary series, "India" while making it.  We still haven't found a place to put it.
