Bennett Robot Works

Clayton Bailey has made approximately 100 life-size robot sculptures of found objects since 1976. He searches the local flea markets and scrap metal yards for discarded home appliances, cookware, bicycle and automobile parts. He carefully grafts the parts together into new forms; reincarnating them as robot sculptures. The "past lives" of the robot's various "mechanical molecules" are said to give them their soul.
• CHRISTOPHER CONTE
Creating sculpture never escaped Christopher's deepest passion. In 2007, Chris began offering these unique pieces for sale to the public for the first time. His work has been recently covered in Wired, Popular Science, Make Magazine, and used by The Discovery Channel and MTV Networks.
