Maker Faire Austin 2008

Mechanical Confections

My plan is to run a wire using turnbuckles secured to posts between two posts. The wire will be fairly light and at 3' height. I'm going to make 3-4 windup Mechanical Confections ( or maybe electrical ) which run along the wire. Participants will be able to place the pieces on the wire and self demonstrate with my assistance. I'll need a table for the pieces when they're not on the wire & to show a loop video of my work. I'd also like to sell copies of my video compilation which features Kinetic Sculpture and Animated Films.

- Mechanical Confections

Gina's path started in Buffalo, NY where she played punk rock at night and during the day, slept under her desk at Fisher Price Toys with occasional breaks to design playthings for toddlers. Between then and now, she's created a giant clock which burns sticks of incense, designed a Limbo game for kids, built a series of robot sculptures, created sculptural lighting, joined a motorcycle gang, and made several animated films.
