THE
BIZARRE

CRAVE is a provocative, gender-fluid artwork that explores themes of identity and desire. This piece incorporates glass plasma skulls, hermaphrodite female mannequins, and sex toys, inviting viewers to reflect on the fluidity and complexity of human sexuality. Last exhibited at The Sex Exhibit: Avant-Garde Art Show for the Cocreative Sex Summit in January 2020 in Vancouver, CRAVE challenges traditional boundaries and celebrates diversity in both form and expression, making it a bold statement piece in contemporary art.

The Pink Torpedo began as a giant, wheeled riding toy, shaped like a human penis, complete with casters, rubber bumpers, and flashing LED lights. While originally designed to move freely across dance floors, it was later transformed into a stationary rocking toy. This whimsical installation became a popular attraction at many Burning Man parties, fundraisers, and special events, offering a playful and memorable experience.

Dimensions: 10’ (L) x 3’ of body diameter.

Enhanced by an Arduino-controlled system, the installation includes vibrant LED lights in a 10-foot-tall cylinder and sound effects to create an immersive, lighthearted experience. Crafted from a toilet bowl, motor, and electronic components, Happy Licky Toilet embodies the spirit of whimsy and creativity found at Burning Man-style events.

Rupert the Chatty Robot is a small, cylindrical brass robot that bears a striking resemblance to a blend of R2D2 and a sleek Italian espresso machine—though he doesn’t make coffee!

Rupert has inherited many quirks from R2D2, including a quirky personality with multiple moods. You never know which version of Rupert you'll encounter: temperamental, smooth-talking, hyperactive, flirty, or even a bit rude. He also features a button labeled “DANGER – do not push this button!”—but if you do, Rupert will try to seduce you!

Originally created for the 2013 Burning Man festival as part of an honorarium project at the Man Base in Vancouver, BC, Rupert is a unique, interactive experience. However, due to his fragility, he requires careful handling and protection from children.

Rupert is available for exhibition, sale, or lease.

Price: $9,000.
