Animatronic Sculpture :: Mark Ho

There is an interesting story behind the animatronic sculpture of Mark Ho. He began construction while studying film, to create a figure that could replicate the movement of human form for use in animation. The result was a finely-crafted metal sculpture that inspired Mark to leave film behind and focus instead on metal work. Though only 17" tall, his pieces have over 500 parts! And a magnetic base allows the sculptures to retain their position for display. See more photos at his site. LINK
