Friendly Robot Sculptures
I'm a metal sculptor known as Skunk: for nearly twenty years I have been honing my craft in transforming interesting and beautiful repurposed metal parts, working them with a hacksaw, a file, a sturdy vise, and a finely wielded TIG welder to create works that embody feelings of wonder, joy, and peace – each with the same mission – to endure for centruries as tireless reminders to hold dear all the important parts of being human.
