Phil Ross at Maker Faire

This weekend, May 19 and 20, is Make Magazine's Maker Faire. The two-day fair celebrates arts, crafts, engineering, science projects and the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) mindset. One participant, in particular, we'd like to highlight is sculptor Phil Ross. While doing research for Dolan's recent application to The Ragdale Foundation's Chicago Connection Fellowship, we discovered Phil Ross's work and were over-whelmed by many of his sculptures and installations. During Maker Faire, Ross will be "showing somethingorother, and will be hanging out near the Machine Project cluster of folks."

If you cannot make it to the fair, spend some time reviewing his website and work.
