In the photo above, I’m holding an articulated great white shark made from 16 gauge galvanized wire with painted tin fins. The head and tail sections are hinged, and move freely back and forth to suggest a swimming motion.

In the photo below, I’m holding a jointed wooden man, sitting in a chair, with copper hands and painted tin feet, with his partially completed head in my right hand.

What do a big shark and a headless man have in common? Come back to my blog in a few weeks to view the whimsical interactive sculpture I will create from these odd components.
