Nemo Gould (born October 3, 1975) is an American artist and sculptor[1] known widely for his kinetic found-object sculpture[2] as well as two-dimensional graphic work. Much of his work presents whimsical aluminum and woodenrobotic and sci-fi creatures of as-yet unnamed and threatening genus and species.[2] He cites Clayton Bailey as an early and inspirational influence.[2]
Gould was chosen in 2007 as an artist in residence at the Recology Solid Waste Transfer and Recycling Center,[4] an honor and opportunity highly coveted among the Bay Area's found object artists, who are given free access to the tons of consumer detritus collected daily at the dump.[5]
