Today is my third roboversary! It was exactly three years ago that I decided to make my first robot. I can’t remember where I first saw it, but I was originally inspired by the work of New Zealand artist Martin Horsepool. Then, after a google image search of “robot sculpture, junk, found objects” etc etc, I realised that there were quite a few artist across the world making robots out of junk and I wanted to be one of them. So I went into my shed which, by accident rather than design, was already full of unwanted junk and gathered some bits together and made my first robot. He’s clearly less sophisticated than my latest creations but I hope you will agree he has just as much charm and personality.
