Lotus Gemco – metal bits to the whole car
Feb.23, 2010
We take fibre in any of its many forms and from it we create a whole. We have a design in mind, or a pattern, or a request, or an order, or a picture in front of us and from one or a combination of those we create a whole.
So does Alex.
Lotus Gemco notes This is what has been taking my time. I set up an account for Alex’s photographs on Flickr, then posted the notes and the flickr photostream onto the website World Urban Art
This was a jigsaw puzzle, that became a lotus racing car. Left field sure, but I believe that Alex is an artist / craftsman and when the car is absolutely finished I will post additional photos.
I don’t think it looks beautiful yet – but it will. To a car buff, a racing car enthusiast, a Lotus enthusiast and others it will already look beautiful. I am just in awe of his talent, design skill and practical application.
What I do think is that Alex has designed and knitted together metal pieces and come out with this car using old postcards, the metal bits and pieces he was provided with and using his natural creative talent and knowledge garnered over many years to create the whole – the Lotus Gemco.

Hej.
Hvor spændende at følge med i opbygningen af denne racerbil – og særligt fordi jeg bor her i Danmark og har stor interesse i New Zealand og familien.
