Madden Fabrication Lends a Hand
July 17th, 2009Our sister company Madden Fabrication has been hosting an interesting project that is being created by Portland artist Pete Beeman. Pete has been commissioned to design and build a work of art for Charlotte North Carolina’s Shuffletown Sportsplex, on the site of the old Shuffletown Dragstrip. This piece is an interactive sculpture where the person turns a crank on the sculpture which then makes the hand open and close. Pete used a CAD program to draw up all the individual pieces of the hand and to make sure that they all worked together perfectly. Along with insuring the accuracy of construction, Madden Fabrication was able to cut and fabricate directly from these CAD drawings. You can see how the hand works in the video belong. If you would like to see more of Pete’s work you can check out his website at www.petebeeman.com.
