After building an aluminum robot costume, to serve as a greeter for his Museum, Clayton Bailey made plaster molds from the left-over metal pots and pans. The Squatting Robot shown here is hand-built from many individual clay shapes cast from his large inventory of plaster molds of pots and pans, auto parts and flexible hose..

This is one of the larger of the ceramic robots that he made before deciding that they were excessivly heavy and fragile compared with the metal forms he used to make the molds.

At this time, he started making life-size stationary metal robots from the aluminum objects themselves.

Using the spare parts left-over from building his robot costume, he creates a beautiful lady robot companion for ON/OFF, his robot barker and studio helper.
