The Mechanical Horse
World Maker Faire 2015
MAKER
Adrian Landon
I was born and raised in New York City. I have always aspired to be creative. I wanted to be an architect, then I studied Industrial Design for a year, but all those careers are still so limiting. I have been a metal sculptor since 2009.
The project is a life-size, suspended, stainless steel, mechanical horse, galloping in slow motion at the push of a button. It was single-handedly designed, machined and sculpted by me, at home and in my metal shop in Brooklyn, NY.
What inspired you to make this project?:
My childhood experience with legos, love for creation, passion for horses, the ultimate mechanical challenge, make something that has never been made before, inspire others to follow their dreams
