A Boybot and His Dogbot

This piece started as an experiment in using geometric shapes to create the figures, rather than carving them.

The automaton features a robot flying a kite on a very windy day. His feet pulled from the ground, but he holds on until the gust subsides and he is deposited to terra firma once again.

His robot dog shows his excitement by waging his tail and opening his mouth to bark.

A small birdbot behind Boybot is too busy pecking the ground to notice the rest of the scene.
