Artist's Insight
Within every industry the value and importance of a Prototype, which will ultimately metamorphose into the final product design, is truly understood. Every Marketeer understands the value and importance of a Prototype within the New
Product Development (NPD) process.
The very first ever produced Prototype has been unearthed and is proudly presented here.
In order to explore the design and tactility of Prototype #1 the individual needs to
hold the Sculpture. Whilst the Sculpture is extremely heavy for it's size (2Kg), remarkable age makes it extremely brittle and therefore extreme care and love must be exhibited when handling. The pleasure of exploring the prototypes form is not only afforded to the handler but also to the artist in the form of amusement.
I am a work of Metamorphosis:
- Prototype – Development - Product
- Wood – Fossil - Stone
- Civil Engineer – Marketeer – Sculptor
- Male – Pre-Op Transsexual - Female
- Able Bodied – Car Accident - Disabled
- Amateur Artist – Exhibited Artist – Award Winning Sculptor
Please ask me if you are interested in more insights as I love sharing “my thoughts”.
