Robots - 2009
This series began with a fascination of railroad miniatures.
For something so small, there's a lot of expression that comes through in railroad miniatures. They're sculpted to fit all kinds of scenarios, such as waiting for a train, reading the newspaper, crossing the street, to bodybuilding, sunbathing, posing for a portrait, etc. It was always exciting for me to just look at the miniature displays and dioramas; to see these little people in their little world.
I don't remember where I first saw the Stikas figures, but I remember thinking they looked like a lot of fun. And after that, looking back at the railroad miniatures, I noticed that the 'man running for the departing train' looks a lot like 'man running for his life from a giant robot monster' and that was the start.
