Bennett Robot Works
|
These robot sculptures, created by Gordon Bennett, are made from a mixture of found objects which are both old and new. The parts are found in various places including garage dumps, basements, construction sites, and garage sales. They are inspired by Norman Bel Geddes and Raymond Loewy, whose visions of the "Modern Age" helped shape the industrial age of the 40s and 50s. The materials are wood, metal, bakelite, glass, plastic, rubber and paint. Each robot is a unique, one-of-a-kind sculpture and receives its own numbered metal tag as proof it's an authentic Bennet Robot Works robot. Each robot takes about a month to build. They range in height from 14" to 25". There are no moving or battery operated parts. They are not meant to be a toy.
