Data Retriever 2666
This critter served as a test platform for what I want to do with the rest of my sculptures. It took about six months to make and covers an approximate 21x21 inches of wall space. The face and torso contain functioning LEDs powered by a small 12 Volt battery located in the upper back.
Materials Used: Epoxy-based sculpting compound, acrylic, paperclips, coat hangers, windshield wipers, a dozen lighters, camera parts, pneumatic valves, printer parts, CD drive components, working LEDs, and 30 or so guitar strings.
170 carat opal with Contra luz color plays. Origin: Opal Butte, Oregon. Contra Luz opals describe precious opals where the play of colors is only visible when held up to the light.
