What) For most of his life, Tom Every was a professional destroyer. Tom worked in Wisconsin as an industrial wrecker, thrashing old factories, breweries and any other building that stood in the way. But when he retired in 1983, he decided he would dedicate the rest of his life to being a creator: Dr. Evermore, to be exact. Dr. Evermore is imagined by Every as a Victorian inventor from Eggington, England. He's built the World's Largest Sculpture, named the Forevertron, from old carburetors and discarded power house machines.

    From the highway, the top of the 320-ton Forevertron is barely visible. You walk behind the surplus store into a spider-silent alien carnival. Dozens of mechanical creatures, ranging from waist-high to 20+ feet tall, flock in clearings. Disintegration chambers, spaceship gun turrets and huge insectoid contraptions are obliquely arrayed. There are no labels or explanations. (1)

    Tom doesn't use blueprints or drawings and he has no traditional art schooling. "No sketches, no models, no nothing - I just go for it." This is pretty amazing, since sculptures like the Juicer Bug are fifteen tons and will be hoisted up on spindly insect legs. "Everything here is free floating. I got these bug toenails up in the air, but I don't want a toenail falling off on somebody." Tom develops his own construction solutions, so far without mishap. "No engineering firm could compute the compression on these legs." (2)

    Where) On U.S. 12, about five miles south of Baraboo, behind Delaney's Surplus    Free.    1-608-219-7830

    Why) Perhaps you need to read the “what” section again.  This is obviously another one of those Buckys that could be really great or really bad depending on the skills and tastes of the artist.
