PowerBoard

 Mix Media
(Wood, Fiberglass, Aluminum, Steel, Chain Saw Motor)

This project had been brewing in my head for a while; the idea of personal transportation and how we get around has always been a “problem” that has occupied the human condition. We have been in a state of constant progression to the next and new version of these ideas.

I chose the form of the skateboard because the skateboard has an image associated of rogue individualism.  Then by adding a motor and large wheels it takes on the characteristics of a large truck while placing it in the realm of the absurd.
I place it on a base that references the way that SUV's and other off-road vehicles are sold.
