Tiger Mothers by Donna Dodson




For Convergence: the Boston Sculptors Gallery exhibition on the Christian Science Plaza, I am creating a Tiger Mother figure. This figure was inspired in part by the book 'Battle Hymn of theTiger Mother' by Amy Chua. In the book she talks about raising two daughters, one in a traditional way, and one in a more laid back manner. Since The First Church of Christ Scientist invited me to make two figures for Convergence, that would be installed at  each end of the seating near the fountain, I want to site them facing one another on the plaza, or standing guard like sentinels, facing forward, in the open, since sculpture is best viewed in the round. Taking inspiration from the book, one figure would be a white tiger with black stripes, and one be white tiger with red stripes, symbolizing the two themes about mothering, tradition and love. Tiger Mothers embody the idea that one has to be a different parent to each one of your kids, because every child is unique.

Project Z-Tuner | The Process

Project Z-Tuner | Day 0 - The Blueprint

 

Project Z-Tuner | Day 1 - Palladium Arc Reactor (Prototype)

- Apply power to nickel/copper/gas railgun.
- Electricity flowing through coils generates magnetic field.
- Shut off power input.
- Magnetic field remains without power (because there's also regular magnets?)
- Presence of magnetic field induces current in the coils (Power output!)

 

Project Z-Tuner | Day 2 - Weapon-Z Air Intake Upgrade System
