More Moo's Cyclops

Industrial Strength Vacuum Cleaner - Acrylic on Canvas 90cm x 120cm

I like re-designing objects, then anthro-morphising them and giving them some level of intelligence. I like the idea of machines that dont require human operators. This is a heavy duty vacuum cleaner that operates autonomously, crawling around looking for random garbage to suck up and digest.

Automatic Pool Cleaner - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm

Another anthro-morphised object. This is one of those Kreepy Krawly's that automatically clean swimming pools by themselves. Feeling their way along, sucking the scum off the bottom and sides of the pool, as if it has autonomous mechanical intelligence. A manufactured, blue plastic, aquatic lifeform.

Apollo 8 - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm

I remember the simplicity of being a little kid in the late 60's when the space race was on. I remember the naiive animated TV graphics they used to describe the missions. And how the moon always seemed to sort of look back at us. From the TV. This was man's first close look at the moon in 1968. It was also the moon's first close look at man.
