Bennett Robot Works

• CLAYTON BAILEY
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.
