Ralph Waldo Emerson's head made out of electrical outlets and switches

Noah sez, "I thought you might enjoy this piece I was recently commissioned to create for a play about an electrician who starts channeling the spirit of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Needless to say the people at the local used building material store were quite intrigued to know what I was going to do with the 100+ outlets & switches I as buying, when they found out it wasn't for a building."

Where's Ralph Waldo Emerson? (Thanks, Noah!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Hey! If you roll your chair back from the monitor a few feet, it looks just like Ralph Waldo Emerson!

The best use of stuff from a store is the thing that it’s not made for.

I was about to make some cynical joke about how it looks more like (random person), but nixiebunny is right!

Awesome! Love these kinds of creations! So cool!! I like the mammoth on your website as well, and also this optimus prime and bison sculptures made from recycled parts are pretty cool!

More people should see this. Perhaps we should give it a plug!
