{Everyday Inspiration} Beach Walkers…

Posted by on September 04, 2011 in beach walking sculpture, Everyday Inspiration, invention, kinetic sculpture, Theo Jansen | 3 Comments

I just read this article in the New Yorker called, “The March of the Sandbeests” by Ian Frazier & wanted to pass it on (thanks for posting this on facebook Lisa!). I’m completely mesmerized by these kinetic, beach walking sculptures & the artist who creates them, Theo Jansen. But my cool discovery didn’t stop there, I learned about Wallace & Gromit’s World of Invention programming as well- which is just grand! Sayer loves Wallace & Gromit– particularly their inventions so this is great programing to know about.  


Hope you are enjoying your long weekend!
